skafreak_510 0 Posted January 26, 2005 Hi I was wondering what the safest way to saves a username and password on someones computer and only their computer is using input boxes. I was thinking making autoit check for a text file and if there is no text file it would run the input boxes then save them in a text file, but I know this isn't safe. Any ideas?

IanR 0 Posted January 26, 2005 There is no absolutely safe way, but hashing of the password is reasonably secure. In this you generate a pseudo-random string that reperesents the password. Since it's pseudo-random and not actually random, the same password will always give the same hash. This is of course only useful for comparing a user's input with a password; it cannot supply the password, only check that the correct entry was made. If it says "Made in China" then it just might be made by slave labour... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
