I have a we page (HTML and CSS). There are only 4 users allowed to access this webpage with a pin number. Is it possible to hard-code the pin number so when the user goes to the link, If he has a pin it will goe the page, if not they get a message that they have no access? Should a cookie be used for this? Thanks in advance.

HTML Security with Oin number

Hi
HTML, XHTML & CSS can not provide security, so your question is off-topic in this forum.
The simplest way is to use HTTP authentication, which is provided by most of the modern web servers. Look in the Web Servers Category of this site to see if we have a forum dedicated to your web server.
Regarding the use of the cookie, that is useful only to store the authenticated status, but not to authenticate.

If you hard code the number, then anybody can access the page.
|Because the number is there to be used.
You can add a cookie yez to store in the relevant user's machines.
Since HTML can;t set cookie's by itself, you'll need to choose a server-side language that your web server support to code the cookie logic onto the page.

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.
