Password Protection
Ok I have used quite a few password consoles in my time but they never seem that secure. I need a console that allows usernames and password that is totally secure. Kind of like the ones they use on adult sites if any member know what I am talking about. This is important as I want to protect a massive database we are implementing soon. Any ideas people?
Thanks a lot

You will need to use a cgi script(or some other SSI script), as there are no JS passwords which cannot be worked out, or turned off. If you post in the perl/cgi forum, someone should be able to show you where to get a good password script.

Depending on the type of database, and if you have your own domain or web server, you could maybe use certain options.
Place the database in a non-web directory on the server. This should be accessable by you and your scripts, but (hopefully)not directly by anyone outside (anyone with more experince here?).
Use the .htaccess method, it is said to be better than CGI and is by far better than a JavaScript (as Tom said, these are all hackable in some way).
