The aim behind storing passwords securely is that even if the database containing them is compromised, the attacker can’t decipher any user’s actual password. This rules out storing passwords in plain text. Using encryption may seem a good choice since the attacker would not know the actual passwords (because they are encrypted) However, if the encryption keys are compromised, an attacker would be able to decrypt the encrypted passwords - making this method of storage weak.
