I have made a program and published it using vb 2008... this program saves various values in a txt file.... but when i open the folder where the program is installed there is no txt file....
Sois it safe to store and retrieve passwords from a txt file??
Think it is but needed your help....
Thank you once again?
Hi,
Mainly passwords are stored in databases with adding restrictions over the tables that it is stored in. Unless you encode those text files some way I advise you not to store it as text files. You can also store them in the registery and then retrive it as required.
It is always advisable to store password in incripted format with password protection in database only .
