Hello All, Im Looking For A Way To Make A Login Box.
So When You Press Example:
Windows+ F3

It Asks For A Password And Username In A GUI Box And If The Password And Username Is Correct It Continues With Whatever You Are Doing?

How Would I Do This?

You want to do something like this.
Code:
; Correct username and password.
cUsername = admin
cPassword = crashtestdummy

; Take user input.
InputBox, uUsername, Enter username, Please enter a valid username:, , 220, 120
InputBox, uPassword, Enter password, Please enter the users associated password:, Hide, 300, 120

; Basic logic.
If(uUsername == cUsername && uPassword == cPassword) ; == is case sensitive, = is case insensitive.
   MsgBox, You are now logged in %uUsername%.
Else
   MsgBox, You entered an invalid username and/or password.

You should further look up topics on GUI, logic and cryptography.

Indeed, but that input box would not be persistent. The user could simply ignore the inputbox and continue whatever he/she was doing. However, that is the basic logic behind it.

one problem though if you enter the wrong password it will continue running the of the script how about a go sub
Code:

cUsername = admin
cPassword = crashtestdummy

; Take user input.
PWreturn:
InputBox, uUsername, Enter username, Please enter a valid username:, , 220, 120
InputBox, uPassword, Enter password, Please enter the users associated password:, Hide, 300, 120

; Basic logic.
If (uUsername == cUsername && uPassword == cPassword) ; == is case sensitive, = is case insensitive.
   MsgBox, You are now logged in %uUsername%.
Else
{
   MsgBox, You entered an invalid username and/or password
   gosub,PWreturn
   }
Run, mailto:test@test?subject=Mail subject&body=whatever , test2 :>

You can also make it so it exits after a certain amount of attempts:

Code:

cUsername = admin
cPassword = crashtestdummy
nAttempt = 1 ; <--Sets the number of attempts

; Take user input.
PWreturn:
InputBox, uUsername, Enter username, Please enter a valid username:, , 220, 120
InputBox, uPassword, Enter password, Please enter the users associated password:, Hide, 300, 120

nAttempt += 1      ; <-- Adds 1 to nAttempt
if (nAttempt = 3)
   exitapp

; Basic logic.
If (uUsername == cUsername && uPassword == cPassword) ; == is case sensitive, = is case insensitive.
   MsgBox, You are now logged in %uUsername%.
Else
   {
      MsgBox, You entered an invalid username and/or password
      gosub,PWreturn
   }
Run, mailto:test@test?subject=Mail subject&body=whatever , test2 :>


You'll also, maybe, want a way to change the password. But then you'd need to keep it in a separate file and encrypted so only your program can decrypt it and see if the entered username/password match.

My example was supplied to give the threadstarter a rough idea on how to do this, not to give him a perfect login system (does that even exist?).
If threadstarter (or anyone else) would like they can send me a PM and I'll hand 'em some real code.

hello,

I'm new to scripting, forgive me if I'm being stupid.

I'm trying to set up a hotkey to ask for user name and password. store it in memory, and can paste that information with an hotkey.

can someone give me a few pointers? or maybe a sample of the script if it is not too much trouble?

thanks Embarassed
