Providing Username and Password to your application in C++

Image
Ever wanted to provide a Username and Password to the application that you've created so that not everyone could run the program? If YES ! Then your wait is over! In this post you'll get know how to do just that :) STEP #1 : Creating the File  Create a text file (let's say  unp.txt ) Type the Username in first line and password in next line. save the file. STEP #2 : The Code! Create a class (let's say Mechanisms ) with one method for getting the input from user for username and password (and) another method for comparing the user inputs with the username and password in the file.
