Encryption is a method of converting a plaintext secrecy problem into a key distribution problem.
This is a case where you can't have your ciphertext and decrypt it too. If you encrypt the user's password, you can't store the decryption key in the same place.
Well, you can, but it's just pushing the problem around with no security benefit.
