How do log-ins and passwords work for websites?
My site host offers an option to password protect pages in my site, however I know that's not the same as the kind you sign up to a website with. I was just wondering how you get a website to do that, what files you need and so on. Or if there was a program that could do it for me.

You can visit this site: http://php.about.com/od/finishedphp1/ss/php_login_... and it will help you make a PHP log in system. It's pretty easy to do. If your web-service doesn't support a back-end like phpMySQL then you can get the MySQL Administrator from here: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html
I hope I've helped. If you need any more help, you can also message me through my profile here on Yahoo! Answers and I can try to help more.

If you want a program that can create passwords for you, you should get CoffeeCup Password Wizard. However, it's fairly hard to use if you don't understand how to upload it to your website.

you need a database for user and site security information., usually mysql. you then need to use php to control and read the data, and to build the pages dynamically according to the login.
