I am storing the username and Passwords in a database. So what I am looking for is an example of something that reads the database and if the username exists then allow it to enter.

How do you store the password in the database? Not in plain text huh? If so, don't store the password, store a hash of the password and a random salt in the database. Upon login, hash the supplied password+salt and compare it to the stored hash in the database Don't use MD5 as hash. Use something better like SHA256/512! _________________ http://www.linkedin.com/in/albinkiland Dev. iMac 27" + 2x22" LG (2.8GHz Intel Core i7, 12GB RAM, 120GB SSD) OS X 10.8 REAL.Studio Web Edition 2011r3 Top ChrisTimm Post subject: Re: Login ExamplesPosted: Sat Mar 23, 2013 11:09 am Joined: Mon Mar 18, 2013 6:13 am Posts: 5 Akiland wrote:ChrisTimm wrote:Does anyone have any examples of a login application (desktop app).
