A simple password protection (a bit insecure)

This is an example of a very simple password scheme. You cannot get to UMBC until you've typed the correct password and clicked the button.

Please type the secret password 

 

Normally, you wouldn't do this. But I'll tell you the password so you can try it out. The password is ManRay.

The problem with this approach is that anyone who knows how the view the document source to your page and read a little JavaScript code can probably figure out the password.

For an in-depth discussion of password protection see these pages at HTML Goodies.
