Unique Log in

I currently use the password action which works great, but I need more then the 29 log ins that it offers… How can I make more then 29 available unique log ins?

Thanks

The Password Action is not very secure – it’s merely “Security
Through Obscurity”. There are a lot of different ways to make an
actually secure area for your site, beginning with using your hosting
provider’s control panel to create a secure folder or “realm”, and
adding usernames and passwords through that control panel. Beyond
that, there are scads of PHP/MySQL-based solutions out there, if you
look on HotScripts or similar code-bases, you can find free and paid
(i.e. supported) options to fill your every need. Some allow the user
to register or to request a login that needs to be approved, and there
are lots of different reasons to pick one over another, including how
code-literate you are and how demanding your security requirement is.

In fact, the best place to start when building such a thing is to ask
yourself some basic questions.

  1. Why are you doing this? Are you hiding the crown jewels, or simply
    trying to get a handle on how many people are curious about your
    content?

  2. What will happen if someone unauthorized gets in anyway? How hard
    should you try, and how prepared are you to handle the fallout from
    such a breach?

  3. How difficult do you want to make it to get in at all? Do you worry
    about turning away potential clients or customers if you make the
    login process too hard?

The answers to these questions form the basis for your security
requirements, and only once you have established these based on honest
answers can you search for a solution that fills them.
