I'm looking for something (preferably free) that will allow me to have users
login using a username and password. I'd like to store the password
encrypted (if possible) in an access database and have a web based admin
utility and password reminder (e-mail sent to user) option in case a user
forgot their password.

I've seen packages selling for nearly $30, but for a non-profit organiztion,
every penny saved counts.

really wouldn't be tough to write yourself, might want to look at that first
and save the money.

I would also suggest to do it on your own.
You can find several free algorythms for encryption/decryption with or
without using keys.

I like the Blowfish-Algorythm very much but thats just my opinion.

Anyway, I would also suggest to store the logIn in a session and detect for
it in critical situations.
If there is no valid session-entry, throw the guys out or transfer to the
login again.

Encrypted and encoded are very different things. I think you meant encoded.
Encryption worth doing is not very easy to simply reverse engineer during a
password reminder. ;-)

In any case, here's a start (though it doesn't use a database; I should
re-write the article to provide a lot more flexibility).

I need something to go by though. I can do the login part with no problem,
but how do I create a page that would show all users listed in the database
giving the option to disable/delete/modify the user?

a simple DO WHILE or FOR EACH loop.
Use an RS to get the records, writing each to the screen (a simulated
datagrid type interface) with a Modify & Delete button next to each, posting
to a new page while passing in the unique ID of the user. Also a button at
the bottom/top with "Add New", again calling a new page. Pretty basic
list/update/add functionality.

Pretty basic when you know what you're doing, but not for a newbie. I'll
research what you suggested, just wish it could be made easier with a simple
bit of the 'pretty basic' code.

Thanks for the info.

Hi Mike...

How much is your time worth? Even at minimum wage, you'd probably spend
more than $30 to write it yourself. BTW, since nobody has covered it yet,
you should review SQL injection attacks.

Lots of examples of the parts of this are around. Much of the code
you're looking for is here:
