Hi,
Do you mean two QLineEdit in a QDialog for the login ?
-
Then what exactly are you missing to go further ?

Sorry but it's a bit too vague.
Do you mean you don't know how to setup a QSqlDatabase ?
Or you don't know how to get your QLineEdit contents when .e.g. clicking on a QPushButton to trigger the login ?Please, state exactly where you currently are and what would the next step be.

I understood what you want to create. What I don't know is at which stage you are.
E.g. a minimal login page is two QLineEdits with the password input protected and a QPushButton to start the login process. For the logic, a slot that does the validation and for the rest. Not knowing what your application does I can't say.

Have you considered the security issues with this setup?To retrieve the password, you have to log in to the database as an anonymous user and have the database itself trigger an email.
To have the form itself directly recover the password would allow anyone knowing your email to log in as you. Even emailing the password is a somewhat questionable practice as email can be sniffed.
If this is a low value database, then you may consider these to be acceptable trade-offs.

I just noticed this. if your DB knows what the password is it is a threat not only to your DB security but for each individual user. You can get sued for some real money! (the idea is that if your DB gets hacked and password table stolen the attackers will have both username and password in plain text and, if passwords are recycled by your users, they will try them on paypall or amazon and steal money off them).
Use a hash and salt algorithm (SHA3 512 recommended).
