Hello I am a student and I have been researching on here for way too long to find answers to how to make this login page actually work. All the pages I have found have made them in different ways that don't work for me. Can anyone off this code push me on the right track to create this. I have got my signup page to work though.
def signup():
users = open("login_signup.txt","a")
user = []
username = input("What do you want your username to be?: ")
password = input("What do you want your password to be?: ")
user.append(username)
user.append(password)
users.write(username + "," + password)
users.write("\n")
print("You have successfully signed up")
def login():
with open("login_signup.txt","r") as users:
usersusername = input("What is your username?: ")
userspassword = input("What is your password?: ")
Btw the format off the text in the file is: username,password
Then it goes to a new line after the next person wants to create an account.
Thanks to anyone who can help :)
Since you're still having problems here's a modification of your code that works.
def signup():
with open("login_signup.txt","a") as users: # context manager is preferred over pure open/close
#user = [] # not used so remove
username = input("What do you want your username to be?: ")
password = input("What do you want your password to be?: ")
#user.append(username) # not used so remove
#user.append(password) # not used so remove
users.write(username + "," + password)
users.write("\n")
print("You have successfully signed up")
def login():
usersname = input("What is your username?: ")
userspassword = input("What is your password?: ")
with open("login_signup.txt", "r") as users:
for line in users: # iterating over login file a line at a time
login_info = line.rstrip().split(',') # rstrip() removes the '\n' at end of string
# split(',' split string on comma
if usersname == login_info[0] and userspassword == login_info[1]:
print("Correct credentials!")
return True
print("Incorrect credentials.")
return False
Exmaple Run
sigup()
# Out:
# What do you want your username to be?: john
# What do you want your password to be?: paul
# You have successfully signed up
login()
# Out:
# What is your username?: john
# What is your password?: paul
# Correct credentials!
# True
