You don't want to use the crypt filter for this.  Instead, in your 
catalog.cfg file, specify:
UserDB crypt 1

This tells the Interchange UserDB module that you want to use encrypted 
passwords.  The user provides a plaintext password when creating an 
account, logging in, etc., and the userdb code handles the encryption 
portion for you.  That's all you need to do -- you don't have to handle 
the encryption logic yourself at all.
