User Database Authentication & Registration

TUTORIAL 6 ATTACHMENT

Here it is as promised.

You are going to need to get used to using header files for larger programs

The files for this program are as follows:

1. authfunctions.h
2. main.cpp
3. user.db

User Database 1.0

authfunctions.h

---

This file will contain all of the programs major functions
The contents are as follows:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <iterator>
#include <vector>
#include <fstream>

user.db

Create this with notepad.
This is our user database, the first line contains users, the second line contains passwords.
make sure it contains the following:

admin
1234

main.cpp

---

Here we run all of our functions together. The contents of main.cpp should be:

#include "authfunctions.h"
int main()
{
    bool exitprogram = false;
    authdb:
    system("cls");
    cout << "Authentication Database Program 1.0\n"
         << "What would you like to do?\n"
         << "1) Login\n2) Register\n"
         << "Select one of the options above or enter 0 to exit.\n"; 
    int swc;
    cin >> swc;
    switch(swc)
    {
    case 1:
    {
        system("cls");
        string u, p;
        cout << "Authentication Database Program 1.0\n"
             << "Please enter your credentials.\n"
             << "Username: ";
        cin >> u;
        cout << "Password: ";
        cin >> p;
        if(auth(u, p))
        {             
            cout << "Authentication Success!\n";
            system("pause");
            list();
            exitprogram = true;
        }
        else
        {
            cout << "Authentication Failure!\n";
            system("pause");
        }
        break;
    }
    case 2:
    {
        register_user();
        break;
    }
    case 0:
    {
        system("cls");
        cout << "Bye!";
        exitprogram = true;
    }
    }
    if(exitprogram == false)
    {
        goto authdb;
    }
    return 0;
}

Now you just have to make sure the header is added to your project in the compiler & make sure user.db is in the same directory as main.exe.

Compile & Run - Enjoy.

As always. I hope you enjoyed my tutorial, Upvote & Follow or even resteem if you liked it & feel free to ask me anything in the comments below!

The header is of my own design.
Everything written here is my own work.
Feel free to comment I'd love to hear your opinions!
