Can I link to a data file?

    We have a Software Updates page that needs to be password protected. We want to only give access to people with a password. We have a .csv file with all the client acct #s and passwords. We would like our customers to enter their acct# and password into a form and then compare it to the entries in the .csv file. If it finds a match the Software Updates page will open. If the password is not found in the .csv file we do not want people to be able to access the Software Updates page. We also don’t want people to be able to view the source code, find the Software Updates page URL and bypass the password entry.

    Thanks!

    Do you already have functionality for the part where users can fill out the form and compare it with the csv file?

    It does sound like a very specific use case you have, and I am not sure if this plugin can do it all out-of-the-box.

    On a side note, storing passwords in plaintext in a csv file is very insecure.
