good password system in MMF2 Dev

[dsmathewson]

Hey, does anyone know a good way to make a password entry screen on mmf2.

e.g. user inputs specific information into textbox and upon clicking "OK" button the app will check to see if the password matches the pre-defined password.

even an example file would help greatly!

edit object

then check "password"

The "pre defined password" could be hidden in an array object or ini object ( more visible there ) so that this password could be modified during runtime.

I played a bit with the blowfish extension, which is a neat thing when it comes to encryption/decryption of passwords or even huge files.

What you basically need for your password screen is an encryption key and the already encrypted password. These strings could be found with a hexeditor and plenty of time, I assume. But unless you're working for the cia or creating online banking software this should be safe enough.

You can download the mfa-file here: http://www.gigasize.com/get.php?d=3xj9jvyfhod

Hope this helps,

Yeah I would just make the pre-defined password already encrypted (with the key on your person), and encrypt the entered password. If the encrypted entered password equals the encrypted stored password then allow entry.
