[iOS] Ask password not encrypted?

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Hi Jaqi,

There have got to be dozens of LC users out there who are in the same boat as I am; so here goes:

Why are strings encrypted? I "vaguely" understand the concept, but the expression is bandied about so freely that I figure someone must know something that I don't know. Unless it serves a purpose beyond what I think it does, it seems to me to just overly complicate things that are already pretty complicated. I don't like the thought of dealing with more levels of complication than is absolutely necessary. Of course, I can be pretty naive about some things! (smile) Also, I'm honest and I understand that much of the world is not.

TIA,
