    Resolved [RESOLVED] username-password

    hi programmers.
    since username and user domain could be displayed 'ToString' is there a code to also reveal the password as string according to the username and domain?

    is there also a code for the IP Address to be displayed as string??

    I don't think it would be a very good idea to allow any Tom, Dick or Harry with programming abilities access to the user's password...
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition.

    No, you don't understand... You can't access the user's password because it would be seriously unsafe. Why do you want to access the password anyway? If your program needs the user's password, then provide a facility where they can provide it themselves.

    There is absolutely no reason to be able to read a windows user account password. All you need to do is check if the user is logged on to the current session or if the account is valid.

    Well then you would need to create a database to hold the info and then when they run your app you could check it against the proper info for a match.
