I am trying to use C++ (in Visual Studio 2008) to create a program that I first made using Visual Logic.
- Forgot Username Password
- This Pc Password And Username
- Find My Usernames And Passwords
- Saved Usernames And Passwords
The program is supposed to check the users input with an external text file. The external text file just has the username's and passwords...
Aug 01, 2017 So I'm trying to teach myself C programming and I'm having trouble writing a password program. Essentially I want to program to ask the user to input a password, and then compare that input with the correct password. If the user input matches the password. Notice that in C, two string literals next to each other (such as ' 1 Login' 'n') are automatically concatenated into one string literal by the compiler. Even if the string literals are on separate lines, as long as there are no semicolons or anything else between them, then the compiler will concatenate.

I tried using arrays (ex: 'char u[10]') because that is what I had to use in Visual Logic, but then the first username (I tested it with cout) ' 'peanut butter' ' would read out ' 'peanut ', so I assume the space in between peanut and butter is screwing up the array? I googled that problem and tried to put add a for loop code that would skip the space using n. It didn't work.
I moved on to using 'strings' because it would ouput peanut butter correctly, but now I can't figure out how to make a for loop that will check through all the names and passwords to see if the user input for a username exists in the external text file.
Thanks for any help and advice you can give me in advance.

You are not saving the file contents, your program just reads the file and tosses away the information.
Turn the program around, first prompt for user name and password, then read the file, making the comparison for each line of the file.
MySQL stores accounts in the
user
table of the mysql
system database. An account is defined in terms of a user name and the client host or hosts from which the user can connect to the server. For information about account representation in the user
table, see Section 6.2.3, “Grant Tables”. An account may also have authentication credentials such as a password. The credentials are handled by the account authentication plugin. MySQL supports multiple authentication plugins. Some of them use built-in authentication methods, whereas others enable authentication using external authentication methods. See Section 6.2.17, “Pluggable Authentication”.
There are several distinctions between the way user names and passwords are used by MySQL and your operating system:
- User names, as used by MySQL for authentication purposes, have nothing to do with user names (login names) as used by Windows or Unix. On Unix, most MySQL clients by default try to log in using the current Unix user name as the MySQL user name, but that is for convenience only. The default can be overridden easily, because client programs permit any user name to be specified with a
-u
or--user
option. This means that anyone can attempt to connect to the server using any user name, so you cannot make a database secure in any way unless all MySQL accounts have passwords. Anyone who specifies a user name for an account that has no password can connect successfully to the server. - MySQL user names are up to 32 characters long. Operating system user names may have a different maximum length.The MySQL user name length limit is hardcoded in MySQL servers and clients, and trying to circumvent it by modifying the definitions of the tables in the
mysql
database does not work.You should never alter the structure of tables in themysql
database in any manner whatsoever except by means of the procedure that is described in Section 2.11, “Upgrading MySQL”. Attempting to redefine MySQL's system tables in any other fashion results in undefined and unsupported behavior. The server is free to ignore rows that become malformed as a result of such modifications. - To authenticate client connections for accounts that use built-in authentication methods, the server uses passwords stored in the
user
table. These passwords are distinct from passwords for logging in to your operating system. There is no necessary connection between the “external” password you use to log in to a Windows or Unix machine and the password you use to access the MySQL server on that machine.If the server authenticates a client using some other plugin, the authentication method that the plugin implements may or may not use a password stored in theuser
table. In this case, it is possible that an external password is also used to authenticate to the MySQL server. - Passwords stored in the
user
table are encrypted using plugin-specific algorithms. - If the user name and password contain only ASCII characters, it is possible to connect to the server regardless of character set settings. To enable connections when the user name or password contain non-ASCII characters, client applications should call the
mysql_options()
C API function with theMYSQL_SET_CHARSET_NAME
option and appropriate character set name as arguments. This causes authentication to take place using the specified character set. Otherwise, authentication fails unless the server default character set is the same as the encoding in the authentication defaults.Standard MySQL client programs support a--default-character-set
option that causesmysql_options()
to be called as just described. In addition, character set autodetection is supported as described in Section 10.4, “Connection Character Sets and Collations”. For programs that use a connector that is not based on the C API, the connector may provide an equivalent tomysql_options()
that can be used instead. Check the connector documentation.The preceding notes do not apply forucs2
,utf16
, andutf32
, which are not permitted as client character sets.
The MySQL installation process populates the grant tables with an initial
root
account, as described in Section 2.10.4, “Securing the Initial MySQL Account”, which also discusses how to assign a password to it. Thereafter, you normally set up, modify, and remove MySQL accounts using statements such as CREATE USER
, DROP USER
, GRANT
, and REVOKE
. See Section 6.2.8, “Adding Accounts, Assigning Privileges, and Dropping Accounts”, and Section 13.7.1, “Account Management Statements”. To connect to a MySQL server with a command-line client, specify user name and password options as necessary for the account that you want to use:
If you prefer short options, the command looks like this:
If you omit the password value following the
--password
or -p
option on the command line (as just shown), the client prompts for one. Alternatively, the password can be specified on the command line: This Pc Password And Username
If you use the
-p
option, there must be no space between -p
and the following password value. Find My Usernames And Passwords
Specifying a password on the command line should be considered insecure. See Section 6.1.2.1, “End-User Guidelines for Password Security”. To avoid giving the password on the command line, use an option file or a login path file. See Section 4.2.2.2, “Using Option Files”, and Section 4.6.7, “mysql_config_editor — MySQL Configuration Utility”.
