passwords

I am building a website for my brother's company. The most important element on the website is the mail function. It is important that visitors can send emails to my brother using that system. So I used this code: message.From = new MailAddress("someemail@somedomain.com"); message.To.Add(new MailAddress("emailaddress")); message.CC.Add(new MailAddress("emailaddress")); SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("smtp.live.com", 587); client.EnableSsl = true; client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("emailaddress","password"); client.Send(message); The code is working fine, but there is

I would like to know if my current implementation of BCrypt is correct, I am aware that I am not using BCrypt.checkpw() which may lead to an issue so that is the main reason I verify it here. Hasher.java container class: abstract public class Hasher { public static String hash(final char[] input) { String output = Hasher.hash(new String(input)); for (int i = 0; i < input.length; i++) { input[i] = 0; } return output; } public static String hash(final String input) { return BCrypt.hashpw(input, BCrypt.gensalt()); } } One concern here: JPasswordField gives me a char[] for security reasons,

Is there a way to suppress the password prompt when using Java Webstart with a https server that uses client authentication? I would like to do this, because the webstarted app runs on a touch screen device that got no keyboard and runs in a kiosk mode. Therefore it would be sufficient to either remove the password from the keystore or to store it somewhere, maybe in the desktop shortcut that starts the app. I already tried to attach a JVM Parameter to the shortcut like this, but it doesn't work: javaws -J-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=mypass https://... I also found out, when I activate the

I need my application to be able to remember a user's username and password so that in the future the user doesn't have to enter it again. Obviously, in order to "remember" the username and password for future use, this means my application will have to store the username and password to disk in some way. How is this typically done? I know that Pidgin stores the username and password in plain text. I'd like to avoid this if possible. Is there a better way? EDIT : The platform I'm targeting is Windows. First, be aware that no method of storing names and passwords locally is going to be secure.

I have an application that authenticates against a third party web service by sending a username and password. At the moment I'm typing the password on a winform each time I start the application - but I need it to login automatically. I'd like to store the username/password somewhat more securely than Dim username as String = "username" Dim password as String = "password" I understand that I probably won't stop a determined hacker with access to my source code, but storing them as plaintext feels wrong. I've found some similar questions on here but none that provide me with an answer I can

I am working on CakePHP 3.0 and I would like to compare the database password with the old password entered in the form in "Change Password" functionality. But I am not able to do so since the password is hashed and the hashed password is different every time even if we use the same password. Please help me in this. Thanks in advance, Melee I would do this in the validator of your UsersTable. src/Model/Table/UsersTable.php $validator ->notEmpty('current_password') ->add('current_password', 'custom', [ 'rule' => function($value, $context) { $query = $this->find() ->where([ 'id' => $context[

Please try to search StackOverflow before asking a question. Many questions are already answered. For example: PHP & MySQL compare password how do I create a mySQL user with hash(‘sha256’, $salt . $password)? Secure hash and salt for PHP passwords User Login with a single query and per-user password salt Non-random salt for password hashes Hi I want that nobody can see my password even in database.. So i used hash function like this $passowrd_hash=hash('shal',$_POST['password']); Now easily I can store this password_hash value into database. It will be something like in encrypted form. Now

I am new to Java and Android and I got a question. I think the solution is maybe very easy but I couldn't solve it. I created an application with a WebView the thing is I want that the webview enters username and password automatically so that the user is already logged in when he starts the application. I googled it and found something like that but it does not work @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1); webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled
