Re: encryption question

My understanding is that the usual solution is to create one-way hash of
the password (using MD5 or similar algorithms) and store that. Then you
can run the same hash on the entered password and see if it matches the
saved value. Properly done it should be very hard to get the password
from the hashed value.
If you do that, where do you store the actual encryption key?
