    Resolved [RESOLVED] windows password?

    Hi,

    To access vb6 application, I want the user to keyin the user name and password, but instead of create a new file to contain the user name and password, can I make my program that use the same Windows authentication?

    Thanks!

    You have to think of security here.
    How many people are going to want to input their Windows username and password into a program?

    Re: windows password?

    The reason for implementing windows pass through ctrl+alt+del was bacause of the spread of win 9x applications that pretended to be the logon screen. ctrl+alt+del logon was a security feature to handle that...

    If your gonna ask for same user name and pass, or rather test the authenticity on windows the password they supplied for the username you already have, then you've compromised the desktop's security if not hacked.
