No, I don't.

Probably ...

You can add a column "hashed_password" as a shadow to the right table, and hash all "plain_password" and gradually double all password write and reads in the code.

At the end delete or rename the plain_password field and "deactivate" all code referencing it. ¹

But that's something you gods must discuss!

Update

¹) I'd probably encapsulate all this in two custom functions "store_password" and "check_password" which are ruled by a global switch.
