Login for program

[wryan_garner4]

i am creating a program that requires a login but dont know how to save a password and username. i would like this program to be self contained. i would like an administrator to be able to add usernames. i have very limited programming experience so complex code means little to me.

...more complex code ~ better code...

You have more options...

- save each "account" to the registry
- ... to a file/database...
- encrypt it or not...

You'll need to decide the way to go before you even start thinking about the code...

You can store it directly in the EXE file, which makes it work on all systems, and prevents you from having to distribute a password file with it.

I would recommend encrypting it though, otherwise it's plain as day if someone views the EXE in notepad, or a hex editor.

Also, I've recently found a much easier way to do it, so you may want to check back there in a day or two for when I update the code.
