Security :: Best Way To Store A Users Password And Username?
Jul 8, 2010
I am writing a simple plugin for IE. I need to store a password and username setting for the user who uses the plugin. I know that I can store the username/password in the registry, I can manually encrypt it using the encription classes with .NET, or I can store it in a config file and encrypt the config file. I was wondering if there is a specific pattern/mechanism that I should use to store password and username.

I have a service (WCF) with which my ASP.NET page will communicate. The WCF service has hashed passwords in its data store (a file actually). The WCF service requires the username and the hashed password on every call. Nowm the problem I'm encountering is that if I authenticate the user with forms authentication in ASP.NET, a cookie will be saved in the user's computer after the user is authenticated but I would like to save the username and hashed password too so that the user may able to use the WCF service. Where should this information should be saved so that it is safe and secure? Should I use session variables? If I choose that option that, then should I switch from forms-based authentication and manually authenticate using session variables or use both forms-based autentication for web page access and store the username and hashed password in a session variable? What are the pros and cons of each?

I've a code to persist information in cookies about users like UserName and password.
Question is:
Its not secure to store information like that plain text in cookies.My DB store hashed passwords,so i could save those hashs in cookies and retrieve them later,but if i do that i wouldnt be able to fill password's textbox cause the hash string would be too long for it.

I had been trying to solve this but there is a hidden key i wish someone point me to.
I had a simple membership database with users in first the Membership Provider configured for clear password to retrieve the original password .
Now a new requirement say that the password must be hashed and reset .
I configure the Membership password to hash , and Implemented the Reset Password Module.
My problem is as follow.
If the user is new registered user with the new configuration the password and the security answer is hashed.
also when I go and reset the password it continue to be hashed.
Now I thought that with new configuration if any previous user with clear text configuration , If he use the password Reset module , because my configuration now is hashed , I expected that the new password and security answer will be hashed . what happen is old user continue in clear text even if the configuration is hashed. so If I had new users everything is fine.
old users Membership Provider somehow know they had been stored in clear text and it keep change password and security answer in clear text . If I delete this user and create it , Membership Provider understand that everything will be hashed. I need to know how it know this , I need to migrate users not to delete and recreate users .
Also if there are no solution for that , I wish Microsoft Consider it in future cause it is a real user scenario, that can happen imagine a business system that related to membership user Id , deleting users and recreate them is not a solution .

I am using ASP.NET Forms Authentication for my application. I have made my Password Format "Clear", so no problems with the password encryption. I need to create a view(in SQL server) to display all Administrators in my System. ie aspnet_Roles.LoweredRoleName='administrator' The fields needed are UserName and Password

I have created a test user/password on my web site. The intent is to have prospective clients login and try out the tool. Instead of telling them the userid/password of the test user, I'd like to tweak the Login wizard.
In the Load event, I was able to specify login1.UserName = "test user"
But when I try to specify the password, I'm told it is a readonly field. How can I 'force' a specific password? Or, how can I call the login event directly and pass the needed values?

I am trying to implement a small site which requires users to login using Forms based authentication. I have followed the tutorials found on various sites on the net and in particular the one at [URL]
This enabled me to get a sample environment in place but it seems as though I am having a problem authenticating a user for which I know the username and password are correct.
I have a ASP.Net 3.5 site with my login.aspx form in a folder named login, my default.aspx in the root of the site and my protected content in a folder called main.
I am authenticating against a SQL Server Express database, so I have ran the aspnet_regsql.exe command to populate my database.
I have added the following authentication/authorization lines to my web.config
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/login/Default.aspx"
protection="All"
timeout="30"
name="AppNameCookie"
path="/FormsAuth"
[code]...
I believe that my connection string and my database are ok because if i use the ASP.NET Configuration from within Visual Studio I can create and manage my users and I can also see them in the tables in the SQL Server. Also if I do enter any incorect credentials in my login page the page tells me that the password is incorrect.

I got a username and password field which made by myself and a User database which is all manually made
So now I wish to know how to authenticate user using the username and password data enter by the user and match with the database data to verify user is a member and login?
For what i know, the code should be something like this
SELECT UserName, Password FROM dbo.User WHERE UserName - @UserName
@UserName = ?
How do i assign the value from my username text field to @UserName?

so I will admit this is a pretty stupid question. To my defense, I have never done it before. So take pity. I followed Joe Stagner's video on using the built-in authentication. Now, I would like to query a database using VB.net codebehind to verify if the user exists. I am clueless. Yes, I have a connection string already.

Currently I am storing my username and password (passwordFormat="SHA1") credientails in my web.config. I would like to figure out how to access them in an xml file that I have stored in my App_Data directory rather than the web.config file because I do not want my application restarting everytime I manually add a user (small list of 5 authorized users for the CMS section).
Here is what my web.config section looks like:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name=".Administration"
loginUrl="~/SiteAdmin/Default.aspx"
defaultUrl="~/SiteAdmin/Administration/Default.aspx"
protection="All"
timeout="30"
path="/"
requireSSL="false"
slidingExpiration="true"
enableCrossAppRedirects="false"
cookieless="UseDeviceProfile"
domain="">
<credentials passwordFormat="SHA1">
<user name="username" password="474BA67XXXXXX3B36DFD8A7BED6C85B04943" />
</credentials>
</forms>
</authentication>
