How to hide/encrypt user name & password

[Hidayat]

Hi experts,
i create login page(html) and ASP program to treat the users. But if user
entry their id then the id will appear in the address bar like the following:

'http://localhost/prc/usrlog1.asp?USRNAM=misnurh&PASCOD=firadus'

I want the address bar not showing the USRNAM & PASCOD content so other user
can not use that id, or can be encrypted.

please suggest the hint or advices
thanks in advance.

Use a Post method instead of the Get method.

Hi Hidayat,

The form must be using the GET method instead of POST. To change right click in the form | Form Properties |

Still I can not see the address bar (url) on the encrypt form eventhought I
change to 'GET' method. What I want the address bar become :

'http://localhost/prc/usrlog1.asp?USRNAM=x^@K09!&PASCOD=$5!#2)'

USRNAM & PASCOD (encrypted)

Please advice
Thanks

It could be the illegal characters (!,@,^,$,# etc) in the encoded
parameters.
The userid and password must be encoded, then URLencoded, before being used
as part of a querystring in a URL.
