Yes it is fairly easy but there is a tip written by OriginalGriff that I think you should read before making your mind up to use encryption.

Solution 2

Don't encrypt: use a hashing algorithm instead, it is a lot safer.
There is some info here: Password Storage: How to do it.[^] - the code is in C#, but it's pretty simple, and http://www.developerfusion.com/tools/convert/csharp-to-vb/[^] can convert it if you don't understand.
