Reversible hashed password storage isn’t meaningfully better than clear text.

A reversible hash provides a paper thin layer of protection against accidental disclosure. A one way hash is widely considered the bare minimum for password storage.

Anyone claiming a password has been protected, and then being able to produce the original password, is justly subject to ridicule in security communities.
