This is a simple user authentication system implemented in Visual Basic. It allows users to create an account with a username and password, and later log in using those credentials. The program saves the user credentials to a text file for future logins.
- User Registration: Users can create an account by providing a username and password. The password must be confirmed to ensure accuracy.
- Login: Registered users can log in using their username and password.
- Credential Storage: User credentials are saved to a text file (
user_credentials.txt) for persistent storage. - Password Matching: During login, the program checks if the entered username and password match any saved credentials.
- Error Handling: Basic error handling is implemented to handle cases such as empty fields and password mismatch.
