Encryted password field

[SF]

Hi,

Access 2003,

I want to implement security by allow user to login. I have a table with
user name, password but I want to encrypt the password field. How to do
that.

There is an input mask "password" for the control that will show the password
as ***** as it's typed. Is that what you have in mind.

you can also use the 'password' inputMask in the table design ... but if
you change it back, everything will show.

It might be a good idea to write a routine to scramble/descramble the
data ... or do not store the passwords in a table. Each user should
have their own FE (Front-End). I like using database properties for
information like that. If you distribute an MDE, the users will not be
able to see the code
