How do Java programs store paswords?

However, to increase security, most commercial progrms use coding algorithms to store the password as a mass of nubers and symbols that mean nothing. However, if the coding algorithm is cracked, the passwords flow out as swiftly as the ocean blue. One common beginner mistake is to code using the Unicode values, which many people don’t know, but is a very simple scheme which anybody can crack in a matter of seconds.
