Search on Google and you should find any number of encryption routines. Then you do the exact same thing as above, except pass MyEncFunction(txtPass.Text) instead.

Some encoding functions can create results with #0 characters inside. Thoose strings are truncated when written to the registry as a string. So be carefull!

You can encript password and after write password in registry as hex numbers!
Encript code it's secret so don't use public encriptions. Make one for you and use it!
You can try to encript the text by the Nick_Name and never forgot to add CRC in encription password of nick_name and password. (i think that). It's subiective;
