I want to store some passwords in a database.

I want to store some passwords in a database.

I encrypt the password using a simple xor encryption. As soon as I save the encrypted password to the database the password is truncated at, as it seems to me, random length.

Using plain text files everything works just fine, no truncation.

Am I missing something obvious here?

I don't need any fancy encryption routine, the passwords are not very sensitive :)

Any links/tips would be appreciated.
