Passwords into value list?

[K1200]

I've read something over this past year that made mention of extracting user names and passwords into a Value List -- but now I can't locate the post.

As system administrator, if I'm logged on will full privileges, can I build such a value list and how?

Thanks for any help.

Wow, that wouldn't be good for security.

It could be done if the usernames and passwords are stored in a table in the first place. I've stored usenames in a tbale but have baulked at stowing passwords. Too much of a security risk.

There is no way of getting passwords out of the file, because passwords aren't stored in the file. Only their hashes are stored.

Agreed, it's not great for security. But I believe the mention of it was in a post regarding security -- or the lack thereof.

Thanks for the response. (If I ever find the reference, I'll post it here for the sake of closure.)
