I believe the settings of this plugin are only using when 
authenticating, that is when comparing the given password with the 
stored one.

To store and encrypted password when adding it to the database you could 
use the FormValidator plugin, specifying field_filters as following:

     field_filters => {
         passwd => sub {
             my $o = shift;
             return Digest::SHA::sha1_hex($o);
         }
     }

This automatically hashes the password value when you validate your form 
input. The are other ways of course, for example I think you could have 
DBIx::Class do this automatically for your password field.

Hope this helps.

	Michele.
