Password hash

[Guest]

How does one hash passwords to when using a table for user names/passwords
instead of built-in Access security? This is, of course, to hide them from
anyone clever enough to simply link to the Users table.

Hi Brian,

You could do something like the following KB articles:

Looking at the actual data in the tables will reveal a number
that will be pretty much meaningless to anyone that looks
at it.

Good enough for me. That should keep out the clever users, if not the
professional hackers. Probably simpler than implementing md5 also.

Thanks.

Yep, most people will have no clue how to interpret that.
Good luck with your project.
