winkot Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 I want to try storing the password in the registry. The lack of secrecy of this method is known. But nevertheless, in which class/section is it better to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the encrypted string, is encrypted. Unless you know how to unencrypt it. 1 hour ago, winkot said: But nevertheless, in which class/section is it better to do this? Anywhere you feel like it. The structure to be followed is relative to how imaginative you feel like being. What you didn't say is, what are you going to use it for ?, because if that password is paramount, don't do it at all. Think in a degree of escalation, and code with that in mind. Follow the link to my code contribution ( and other things too ). FAQ - Please Read Before Posting.

winkot Posted September 24 Author Share Posted September 24 (edited) No. It should not be bounded to a computer or a user. It should be universal. Edited September 24 by winkot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTFC Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 In that case you might want to look into using CodeCrypter with keyID=1 (password query).

jchd Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 But why store it in plaintext? Storing a strong hash is good enough and it's safe from Eve eyes!
