    Website Client Login

    Hi there!

    I have my own website which is running on IPB (Invision Power Board). I have made a client in visual basic 2010. I have set up the connection to the database of my website, but i have a problem with login. The thing is that i can only login with the MD5 generated string from phpmyadmin, but i want to make it to login with plain passwords. I just cant figure it out how to do that, what code and where to add it?

    You do not want to make passwords plain-text. That means your database, if it gets hacked, will contain unhashed passwords and that's a security problem. How do you think IPB does it? They hash the password and check it against the database. You should do the same.

    its a MD5 algorithm you need to add it to your client... so that it hashs your password automatically when you press login then enters the hashed password to login...
