Passwords and Javascript
Question: I just want to ask you about how to create a code that can change a password for a user who wish to change his current password using javascript, I have a code with me but it does not work, when I change the password and it still the same. The idea here is to enable a particular user to change his or her password.

Answer: Everything that involves Javascript means readable source code so that if you process passwords with Javascript then the password is available for anyone to read. If you want to use passwords that are restricted as to who knows what they are then you need server side processing. Storing the database in a file or database also requires server side processing.
