Q: 

How do I lock down a windows programs with Usernames and passwords?

I am developing a program that uses a view to display information. Usernames and other valuable information.

How do I set it so that at the first run of the program brings it to a different form to input a new password? The user has never logged in before. Then the second run of the program prompt for that password.

Ideally the solution will be done in C# and using Winforms.

However an algorithm is acceptable.

The program has been aborted. Please close this thread

Forms authentication is an ASP.NET rather than a C# technology. You cannot use it in a WinForms app (without much fuss and tinkering!).
