Hey I think that is a good built-in way to protect your passwords, but then I don't know if a text file is the best way to store them. I think (in my opinion) I consider using a database to store tha info.
There is a way to make the entry appears as *. txtPass=Entry(root,width=25,show="*") The show attribute accomplish what you want Regards Alberto >From: Øyvind <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: tutor@python.org >Subject: [Tutor] Password >Date: Wed, 18 May 2005 14:46:43 +0200 (CEST) > >Hello. > >I am trying to make a loginbox for a program, and need to make a somewhat >safe passwordroutine. > >Will this work? > >import md5 >h = md5.new() >h.update(password) >h.hexdigest() > >The user enters a password first.
