Ok, well, a lot of people sometimes take long breaks from forums and forget either their id, pass, or both(usually the pass). It happens to me all the time on my other forums. So I decided to make a ID & Pass saver (also saves the forum the ID and pass are for). The first part of this is pretty easy. Designing the GUI, and all that. But what I want to do, is save the files as .txt files, but I want to encrypt them when I create them. I obviously also want to be able to decrypt them when you load them. How would I do that. I also need a .ini tutorial as I will be needing them for other things in this program.

what language?

[appalsap]

opera magic wand
firefox password saver
internet explorer even has one

I would agree with Appal here, most, if not all, browsers (real ones) come with password managers in them already which deal with this issue nicely as well as store the passwords somewhat safe. (Nothing is perfect or secure.)

As for INI files, I would suggest either using the basic API for simple reading and writing, or use a class such as:

You can find links to information on all the INI functions here:

Thanks, yeah the language is in C++. Well, yeah I'm aware that most browsers have this sort of thing, but it also goes away if you are clearing private data, which some people do. And also, some people even forget what forum they were one, and this will tell them which(I'm also planning on saving the text files with the name of the forum). Thanks for the .ini tuts but I was really more keen on learning the encryption decryption writing reading thingn.

These cover writing encrypted files I assume?

[atom0s]

They cover encryption methods that can be rewritten to encrypt files. Just look at the examples, most have screenshots which should show you if they are encrypting just text or files.
