You could ask them to type a numbe to indicate their choice e.g.

OUTPUT: Do you wan to register or login? Type 1 to register or type 2 to login.]]> 2018-06-07 05:35:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_wood/reglogin/wish/266027860 mark_wood https://padlet.com/mark_wood/reglogin/wish/266028038 Before we look at this next step, create a text file using Notepad/TextEdit and put some dummy usernames and passwords in it separated by spaces and line breaks e.g.

Bob123 QWERTY
Sarah456 Password123
Lewis789 ASDFG

Make sure that you save this text file in the same folder as your Python code. Maybe call it un_and_pw.txt

Now assume that the user has selected to register.

We will soon ask them to type in their chosen Username BUT before we write their username to the text file we need to check that the username does not already exist, so....

Within the if block for registration, import the text file with the usernames and passwords, import it to read only and read the file storing its contents in a variable.]]> 2018-06-07 05:37:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_wood/reglogin/wish/266028038 mark_wood https://padlet.com/mark_wood/reglogin/wish/266029948 You might think that the next thing to do is ask the user for their chosen username. You could do this but there is something we need to do first and there are many different ways we could implement a solution to this part.

When we import the text from the text file it will be imported as one long string.

We need the usernames and passwords in the file to be separated somehow.

I would suggest that we put all of the usernames into a list ]]> 2018-06-07 06:02:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_wood/reglogin/wish/266029948
