Unfortunately encryption doesn't really solve the problem. You can pretty much gaurantee they have hashed their passwords using an MD5 or SHA algorithm, mostly SHA-256 in this day and age.

The issues arise when you have an entire database of hashed passwords, you can be certain that a dictionary attack will weed out thousands of the more simple passwords within seconds.

Unless they use a "salted" hash...
