I have a registration area on my website and one on my Snitz forum. I am able to link to the Snitz db easily. However, I can't figure out how the encryption works on the password. That is, my web-based registration does not have an encryption while Snitz uses some kind of encryption.
How might I reconcile this? I would like to add the encryption feature to my web registration. However, I need to know how password is encrypted and also how an encrypted password is "un"-encrypted.
You can't decrypt (un-encrypt isn't a word) the passwords once they've been encrypted. The sha256 encryption is one-way only. Do a search on encryption in this forum and you're bound to find some topics that will show you that you'll need to include inc_sha256.asp into the files that need the encryption and what codes you'll need to use to call the encryption.
Thanks Roland.. I'm a little new at web-development, please forgive the encription mistake..
Anyway, what I'm really after is to be able to integrate the Snitz registration & login security-check into my website. This would be easy if the passwords were the actual passwords, but when I look in the Snitz db they are encrypted somehow. My goal is to allow users to login via my website OR the forum. That is, I'd like to include the same functionality that Snitz uses into my website.
Right now, I have two different registration and login - one for web and one for Snitz.
