The password is encrypted with bcrypt, so you will want to follow Michael's suggestion and call one of the many API available to validate a user's credentials.

But there is no way you can ever get a cleartext version of the password from the database. If you can in any system (library or otherwise) never ever use that system.

I need to retrieve the data from the borrowers table, but the password is encrypted. How do I decrypt it in MySQL?
