#1 Encrypt passwords
I think it would be better practice to encrypt the passwords before they are stored in the database so that they are not human readable. For example, performing an MD5 transformation on new passwords and saving the result in the database is one way of achieving this. When authorising a user the password entered would also be transformed before being compared with the database value.
