Python Code Example: simple login

The following Python code example represents a simple login process. The user is prompted to enter his username and password. Subsequently, the user entries are checked. If they match the stored data, the user receives the message “successfully logged in”.

def checkUserInput(username, password):
    name, pw = "user", "123456"

    if name == username and pw == password:
        return True
    else:
        return False


username = input("Enter username: ")
password = input("Enter password: ")

if checkUserInput(username, password):
    print("Successfully logged in")
else:
    print("Wrong username or password")

Output first run

Enter username: user
Enter password: 123456
Successfully logged in

Output second run

Enter username: adsf
Enter password: 123456
Wrong username or password
