I have a plugin called has_password that abstracts away the SHA1-encryption.

ruby script/plugin install git://github.com/jcoglan/has_password.git

There's information in the README on how to use it, it's pretty
straightforward and just handles the password encryption, and has a hook to
notify you when an object's password changes so you can send emails etc.
There are other more complex plugins like acts_as_authenticated that do a
lot more than this, so see which suits you best.
