Password encryption question.

[cfd33]

Hello all,

I got this code from the forums here, but am not sure where I should place it.

I want so that when a user enters his password it will be like this **** or something.

Public Function RndCrypt(ByVal Str As String, ByVal Password As String) As String

    Dim SK As Long, K As Long
    
    ' init randomizer for password
    Rnd -1
    Randomize Len(Password)
    ' (((K Mod 256) Xor Asc(Mid$(Password, K, 1))) Xor Fix(256 * Rnd)) -> makes sure that a
    ' password like "pass12" does NOT give the same result as the password "sspa12" or "12pass"
    ' or "1pass2" etc. (or any combination of the same letters)
    
    For K = 1 To Len(Password)
        SK = SK + (((K Mod 256) Xor Asc(Mid$(Password, K, 1))) Xor Fix(256 * Rnd))
    Next K
    
    ' init randomizer for encryption/decryption
    Rnd -1
    Randomize SK
    
    ' encrypt/decrypt every character using the randomizer
    For K = 1 To Len(Str)
        Mid$(Str, K, 1) = Chr(Fix(256 * Rnd) Xor Asc(Mid$(Str, K, 1)))
    Next K
    
    RndCrypt = Str
End Function
