need help with while loop for a login() function ***

[fringe glade]

This is the code: https://wandbox.org/permlink/gHTBF1t8Kobn01jk
The issue is once I enter in the wrong password the invalid message is triggered but it won't loop back and allow the user to re-enter their password?

It is meant to ask 'Enter password' once again until they get it right, it allows them to re-enter their username so not sure why this doesn't work despite the fact that I use the same logic?

[warm bone]

you can remove that btw

And I cant find the "do you want to enter in transfer?" printing anywhere in the wandbox

If you enter the correct username inside loginUsers() you will also break the loop. So why have the while(correctUsername == true)?

[warm bone]

So when I'm testing the code it's impossible to get what you send here

u should hash the password.

noted

that is from a different h file

[fringe glade]

okay i'll resend it

@warm bone https://wandbox.org/permlink/heAXyK6YVnqlecFP here there is two files. main.cpp (which includes the user.h file) and then the users.h file. You are meant to run the main.cpp file

Idk why on wandbox when it runs it doesn't work properly but when I run it out visual studio there are no errors.

Instead now after I've made the changes you told me to, it is no longer asking to enter in the password... it just stops the program after the username

Once I enter the username, it exits?

use the debugger, see what it's doing

while you should be secure, that's the least of your worries for the moment

and just a basic hash isn't at all secure, you need an actual proper salted encryption mechanism like bcrypt2 or argon2

ya true

i can't even get the while loop to work.. lol

[proper stream]

even this isn't actually secure, the only thing it does is buy you time in the event of a breach

all it does is slow down the attackers, it doesn't stop them

and this is why everyone should always use strong passwords, and they should always be different for every site/service you use

of course, 90% of the population still just does password1 or admin123

[fringe glade]

I've used the debugger but I still can't figure out why it's occuring
