When building a secure application, user authentication is a top priority. One of the essential steps is creating a login username and password storage system in MySQL. This tutorial will guide you through setting up a simple authentication table and inserting sample user credentials.

Steps to Create Login Username and Password Storage in MySQL

  1. Create a Table for Authentication
    Use the following SQL query to create a table that stores usernames and passwords:

    CREATE TABLE tbl_auth_user (
    user_id VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL,
    user_password CHAR(32) NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (user_id)
    );

  2. Insert User Credentials
    Add login usernames and encrypted passwords using the PASSWORD() function:

    INSERT INTO tbl_auth_user (user_id, user_password) VALUES (‘theadmin’, PASSWORD(‘chumbawamba’));

    INSERT INTO tbl_auth_user (user_id, user_password) VALUES (‘webmaster’, PASSWORD(‘webmistress’));
