Hi, can anyone tell me why this login is messed up? If you type a space instead of the username and a space instead of the password, it lets you through!!! I dont understand where the error is. Cheers echo off cls set password=123 :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :login_name_password :enter_username cls set login_name= set /p login_name=Enter Login Name... cls :enter_password set login_password= set /p login_password=Enter password... cls echo. echo You entered (%login_name%) echo (%login_password%) echo. set login_accept= set /p login_accept=To accept entries enter '1' or any other key to start over... if '1' == '%login_accept%' ( goto login_process ) else ( goto login_name_password ) :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :login_process if /i '%username%' equ '%login_name%' ( goto login_process_password ) else ( goto login_process_error1 ) :login_process_password if /i '%password%' equ '%login_password%' ( goto login_passed ) else ( goto login_process_error2 ) :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :login_process_error1 cls echo. echo You have typed in an incorrect Login Name.

Please try again... set login_password= set /p login_password=Enter password... goto login_process :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :login_passed cls echo. echo Login process complete. pause pause

Here is a batch that works you will have to take some ideas and change things:- @echo off color 1A set tries=4 :top cls set /a tries=%tries% -1 if %tries%==1 ( goto :last ) echo. echo. echo You have %tries% attempts. echo. echo. SET Choice= SET /P Choice= Enter Password (no spaces):-^> cls IF /I '%Choice%'=='?Your password here?' ( GOTO :sdown ) else ( GOTO :next ) :next echo. echo. echo You have entered "%choice%" this is incorrect echo %date% - %time% >>D:\IntLog.txt echo %choice% >>D:\IntLog.txt echo. >> D:\IntLog.txt echo. @ping -n 4 127.0.0.1>nul cls GOTO :top :last echo. echo. echo You have %tries% attempt left. echo. echo. SET Choice= SET /P Choice= Enter Password (no spaces):-^> cls IF /I '%Choice%'=='?Your password here?' ( GOTO :sdown ) else ( GOTO :next1 ) :next1 echo. echo. echo You have entered "%choice%" this is incorrect echo %date% - %time% >>D:\IntLog.txt echo %choice% >>D:\IntLog.txt echo. >> D:\IntLog.txt echo. @ping -n 4 127.0.0.1>nul cls echo. echo. echo PASSWORD IS NOT VALID. echo. echo GO TO Mr SMITHERS AND ASK FOR PASSWORD @ping -n 4 127.0.0.1>nul GOTO :eof :sdown echo. echo. echo Don't worry Internet Explorer is starting start "" "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://www.google.co.uk/ cls ::End

Thank you NoIdea, I will take a look at that and let you know the outcome!

You are most welcome

Batch script / secure login By definition that would be an oxymoron!

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN!!! Try this out though... NB ** run this batch from command prompt otherwise it WONT work *** Type 'login username 123' and enter. It seems harder to crack than any other method so far. @ECHO OFF CLS :USERNAME IF /I "%USERNAME%" == "%1" ( GOTO PASSWORD ) ELSE ( GOTO ERROR ) :PASSWORD IF "%2" == "123" ( ECHO WELCOME %USERNAME% ECHO YOU ARE NOW LOGGED ON... PAUSE GOTO END ) ELSE ( GOTO ERROR ) :ERROR ECHO YOU TYPED INCORRECT USERNAME/PASSWORD. ECHO PLEASE TRY AGAIN. GOTO END :END

The only people that can't crack that in under 2 seconds would be ones that don't know about the type or more command or a text editor, i.e those that have never used a computer.
