PASSWORD
(Enter "1234")
What does it do?
The Password applet provides simple
but effective password protection for your Website.
No complex encoding, the password is just the name of the Web page you wish
to access, without the ".html" extension, not worth charging cash
for in my books! However, as the password isn't stored anywhere it can't be
cracked, and offers reasonably good protection.
Eg.
Web page = "3424876.html"
Password = "3424876"
Configurable file extension, can be .html, .asp, or whatever you choose. Optional redirect page to be displayed for incorrect password. Definable text message for top of applet, can be bold or plain text. Configurable text, background and outline color. Configurable text field size.
Note: If you have information that you really don't want anybody to see, this still isn't a failsafe option!
Note: Make sure that there is a file
named "index.html" in the directory the hidden page is situated. If
you don't do this then anybody referencing the URL of the directory it's installed
in will get a list of all files contained there (eg. go to www.pikeus.co.uk/applets/password).
