Question

I am using ASP.NET and C#.While login, if the user checked remember password then i’m storing it in a cookie.So if they login for nexttime it will be displayed in password field.

This is the code i’m using for creating cookie.

                HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie("user");
                cookie.Values.Add("username", t_uname.Text);
                cookie.Values.Add("password", t_pass.Text);
                Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);

So while login for nexttime i am using this.

                t_uname.Text = HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies["user"]["username"].ToString();
                string pass= HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies["user"]["password"].ToString();
                t_pass.Attributes.Add("value", pass);

So instead of this i need to display the password in password field after typing the username.

Thanks..

Do NOT store passwords in cookies! Cookies are plain text files, which means your users’ cookies will get stolen and accounts will be hijacked.

Why are you not using the built in Authentication services provided in ASP.NET? It’s pretty easy to do.
