Abstract
A user password is obfuscated using a first obfuscation algorithm and stored. A security module receives a password from a user a first time and, in response thereto, obfuscates the password using a second obfuscation algorithm and stores the obfuscated password. The security module subsequently receives the password from the user a second time. In response thereto, the security module obfuscates the password using the second algorithm a second time and compares the results of the obfuscation with the stored password obfuscated using the second algorithm. If the results of the obfuscation and the stored password obfuscated using the second algorithm match, the security module replaces the stored password obfuscated using the first algorithm with the password obfuscated using the second algorithm. The operations are performed transparently to the user associated with the password.
