---- Secure way to store third party passwords without reasking users?

I'm curious to if there is a reliable way to securely store passwords in a database that aren't plain-text that are used to access third party websites? In example I salt and pepper passwords, hash them, and then compare hashes however you can't send a hashed password to a third party and expect it to work though at the same time you don't want to store passwords as plain text at the risk of giving away all of a company's passwords should the database be stolen or compromised?
