ask password

Hi Chris,

AFIK, one can't decrypt the response:

Rather one sets a password by asking the user to enter it and verify 
if by entering it again.  The application then stores the encrypted 
response and compares it to the user's response the next time a 
password is required.

All the Transcript engine wants you to know is that the same 
keystrokes will always generate the same encryption.
