Creating a Dat File for Userid And Password

[arv1980]

Hi,

I want to create a dat file for storing Userid and password. If i Create a table in access then my application security is not useful because anyone can open access file and see the password. I want to store user id, password and password reminder question and reminder answer in dat file and how to check if userid is matching with password or not.

Thank you

I do the same thing for my program, but do not store the password as plain text. I have encrypted the password, and the program decrypts it when the file is opened, and when a user types in a password, it is encrypted to see if they match.
I use M$'s file encryption method, using the capicom.dll.

You can download it here:

and here is a quick sample that works in IE after you register the .dll

Happy Encrypting!
