If you're going to be using this for some kind of app, I would lop the salt off (if i didn't use "better" encryption), and have it be formulaic (a combo of the userid, create time and id or linenumber in whatever database type thing you're keeping the list), so that you can "correctly" recreate it for authentication.
If whoever doesn't know the salt, it'll take them twice as long to bruteforce the pass, and chances are, they'll never get it (the salt is half the encryption).
