Folks need to worry about being able to protect more than just passwords. Engineers should be doing a good job of protecting SSNs, phone numbers, home addresses, etc. Crypto-anchoring can help for the general case of protecting sensitive information, not just passwords. `select *` shouldn't give anything in your infrastructure bulk access to sensitive information. The 'cryptographic' thing here is per-record encryption.
