The only way to use that function with PHAkT is to hack the record insertion code by hand. Unfortunately there is no other easy way.

However, you can opt to use my User Authentication Extras Suite (available from this site) that at least allows you to encrypt your passwords using other methods, and it works in conjunction with the Insert Record code.

The only thing that you have to watch out for is that your table columns are large enough (so make password fields 30 characters long instead of 10) and it will work just fine.

Other than that it's a long process of working your way through the inserted code.

Hope this helps
