login script to database

Hi all.

I want to make a login script( using python) to a homepage.
The password and name is stored in a PostgreSQL database, so I have to go to
connect to the database ( I know how to do that )
but I dont know how to write a login script in python and how to look if the
password and name entered is the same as in the database, if it is I want to
link to a webpage www.webpage.com if it isnt I want it to write a message
like " Wrong password entered "

Can any help me out :D

Thanks for your time..

Peter,
Have you had a look at the capabilities of the Apache module mod_auth. I
believe there's an extension module allowing basic authentication off a
PostgreSQL database. This would alleviate your need to write any code at
all!

Regards,
Andrew

Q: How to implement a login system? A: Use sessions. When the user logins, store the session id in the database and then compare the current session id with the one stored in the database on every page. May also check IP; but it may break if the user is behind proxy.

okay...so I got this login script and I edited it all and it seems to run fine...IE it listens to the script as far as permissions go when I place a restriction on a page and when you login it redirects. But first it doesn't tell you that you're logged in and doesn't provide a logout feature. And most importantly if I type in a random username and password not listed in the database it doesn't seem to matter it still "lets me login"

Hi, I have a quick favour to ask - would someone please check over this concept for me? Basically I need to generate a login script and while time is on my side I want to invest in writing my own so that I fully understand and can fully control what is going on. When a visitor applies for membership they assign themselves a password that is hashed and stored in the database. I do not have, nor do I want a remember-me (stay logged in)...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
