It’s a pin, why would you store it at all? Why would you put a password on your password and store it?
edit: Just got those who don’t do software development it’s considered generally bad practice to store the plain text of a password (encrypted or not).
The correct approach is to run the password through a one way hash algorithm and store the result. The hash algorithm always produces the same result for any given password but it is very difficult to do the reverse and figure out what password was used to generate what result.
So you store the result on your side and when the user submits a password you run it through the same one way hash algo and compare the result with the one you have on file. If they match the password is correct.
