to be honest, you're just now learning how to code, so it doesn't matter if you use encryption, databases, or anything really.Quote:

Now, as you might know, text-files aren't the most secure way to store passwords. Secondly, there really is no secure way to store "raw" passwords - which is a password without any "hash" or encryption. The real downfall of text-files for your database is the fact it gets slow once you get a lot of users. I don't think you need to worry about that. :)
Eventually you'll learn what all those words mean- but it's not important right now.
Ideally in the future you'll use a database to store users and hashed passwords for security reasons. Right now, for your own personal use- using a text-file is a good way to do it for the sake of learning.
Did you get it working?
Wait a second S-P-N are you paulgraham him self? Then you're dutch right and studied on Nova right?
I'm merely a fan of Paul and many of his great articles.Quote:
