There is no built in encyption in VB. You can devise your own encyption method by using various logic operators on the password like XOR and AND. This produces some kind of encyrption but is not to difficult to reverse if you know how.

For an almost uncrackable encryption have a look at the following web site. This contains a version for VB.

This uses a DLL that is called from VB and is perfect for encypting passwords.
