You don't have to always use Gui's, InputBoxes work equally as good:

You could also use a msgbox in combination with Input and ControlSetText, but that isn't as easy to use and extensible, now is it?

Was wondering ... if some1 went 2 the "AutoHotKey" folder & opened the autohotkey.ini file wouldn't they b able 2 access the pass from the file & in that case wouldn't the script b useless? Might b better 2 make a script that encrypts the pass & saves it in a different file or something. It’s just a suggestion but then again i could b wrong.

d3m0n1x:
you are right in a way. Most people don't create their scripts inside the AHK.ini they create individual .ahk files and run those. But they can be opened up and looked at as plain text just as the ini file can be.

I found this post about doing a RC4 encryption on a string, have a look-see.

Well I was trying 2 do something sim. Busy working on a script that encrypts the pass & saves it in a different file & in the script I have some "RCON" commands that use a password so it would have 2 retrieve the pass & decrypt it aswell. Can u plz help me.

example of rcon command :

Yeah I have seen the post. Been searching 4 something that could help me put 2gether a script that would encrypt the pass & save it 2 a file & then decrypt it when I ran commands.

I came across this post as well & was wondering if any1 could help me create a script that u could edit the pass & then the script would encrypt & save it in 2 a different file then when u ran commands it would decrypt the pass & place it in command.

My Clan & I use "RCON" commands 2 run an online Game Server so we use AHK which makes things much easier when it comes 2 kicking/banning ppl or even during a KW. We sometimes change the pass so I figured this would also help if the Leader of the clan decided 2 change the pass, he could send the file 2 some1 instead of typing the pass over the net & they could then replace the older file with the new 1. Tx 4 the help & the quick response.

You could simply compile the script instead, that way the password would be inside the exe, no need for more files/encryption. I doubt the variable name would be readable/searchable with a hex editor. Use a password when compiling too.

I c ... but in my case it would still b better 2 save it 2 a different file coz like i said a few of my clan members & i use the same RCON password & sometimes the password is changed. So thought it would b easier if it was saved & encrypted 2 a new file then decrypted when u ran commands. This way if the Clan Leader changed the password he could send encrypted file over net & we would just have 2 replace the old file.

I did the following as example so it's not yet complete + not sure if code is fully functional:
