Password checker

Question

hi everybody .
i am writing a code this one that follows here :

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

string password;

cout << "Sign in" << "\n";

getline(cin,password, '\n');

if
(password == "xxxxxxxxxx"){
cout << "access granted" << "\n";
}
else
{
cout << " Access denied ! Bad password." << "\n";
}
return 0;
}

well i need some help here :

* i need a loop , so that every time the wrong PW is typed in , the access is denied .

* i need to put it in MS VB and make an executable that launches with Windows as i turn the PC on ; in a maximized window , with the 'close window disabled' .

I'll be grateful , guys thanks in advance .

Answer 1

Why not just enable the Windows login screen? This would be much, MUCH more secure.

Answer 2

1. while(!password=="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"){
cout << "Bad password!";
cin >> password;
}
BTW, if this should be "really" secure you should obfuscate your code, so an attacker wont be able to simply use revers engineering to get the password
