I recently posted a program that I wrote that would change a password after being validated, the program can be found here.

I have rewritten this program, it has a couple new features:

• Usernames
• Decryption
• Program related errors

How it works. At the beginning of the program you asked to make a username, that username is stored in a file, you are then asked to create a password, the password is run through a series of verification such as length, characters, integers, etc.. If the password completes verification that password is encrypted (using a simple encryption technique) and stored into a file. From there the password will be asked for to login. If you fail to put in the correct password to many times, both the user name and the password file are truncated back to 0.
