C program to design Login Screen by validation username and password
Read username and password and check it with the given values (just like, login screen) using C program.
In this program we will design a login screen to check username and password, password will display as password characters (‘*’) and here backspace key will also work.
This program in compatible with GCC Linux and TurboC compliers, read the given instruction in the program comments.
Program for validating username and password in C
#include <stdio.h>
#include <termios.h> // in gcc, use < conio.h > in turboc
#include <string.h>
#define USERNAME "user001"
#define PASSWORD "ok@123"
/************************************************
THIS CODE IS USED IN GCC LINUX
because getch() is not defined in library file
