If you only want to store usernames and passwords, then an SQL Server database is overkill, an encrypted file would be more appropriate

Unless you are storing thousands of accounts

You can use xml or registry to store hashed username & passwords.

Hi, We are trying to add a Client Certificate support for our web app that emulates a hardware device web app. The hardware uses a 2 factors authentication, which requires a Web Service client to send: Client Certificate and Username / password. We are using a Web Service provider which uses IIS 5.1 as HTTP server. IIS is set to require client certificate and Basic Authentication.

I was thinking of putting a combo box connected to the database to pull up the usernames and then having a textbox for the user to enter their password.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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.
