    algorithm for encoding password string


    Hi can someone please help and tell me where i am going wrong please and how i can fix it, i am creating a login application. the program asks for users to input their desired username and password to register, these values then go into a access database. i want to secure my database by encrypting the passwords that go into the password column.
    so far i have done whats below...
    but i get this error: 'System::String::default': property does not have a 'set' method, whats this mean? how can i fix it?

    I'm not much of a fan of having user always needing to enter a username/password (regardless if it's an MSAccess app, c++, vb, etc... application.) I will always implement something such as:

    https://www.accessforums.net/code-re...mple-7538.html

    which automatically (and securely) grabs the user's windows loginID and then match that up with a 'user' type table with some kind of permission level field.

    User's have enough logins/passwords to remember. Our data has to be hippa compliant and the above example passes any hippa compliance/requirements.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
