It sounds to me like your are storing your passwords as plain text. If this is the case it's always a very bad idea to store your passwords this way. Hashing your passwords before you save them to the database will keep curious admins or mods from being able to view the plain text password, amongst other security benefits. md5 and sha1 are two of the more popular ways to hash a password (or anything else for that matter).
Example:
$hashed_password = md5($password);
