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.
