Need tips/help with storing infomation

[MYSTCubz]

Hello,
I'm trying to challenge myself by making a C++ application that allows the user to input their username/password.
The problem with this is I want to be able store the data on a database but I know nothing about them.

Would I use a database/database server to access and add the users info OR should I make it contact a website that stores the database/database server on it.

Sorry if something is horribly wrong, I know nothing about this.

Thanks.

Why not start simply by storing user names and passwords in a text file?
Not secure, but a good way to get started.

I've already made a program like that but I want this one to be accessible from anywhere and give the user the ability to access the database.

Of course it all depends on what your trying to do and how.
Storing anything on a local computer is going to be easier than over the network.
I would recommend looking at how unix stores the /etc/password file for a local version.
If your doing a database for a wed server to login forget what I just said.
There are probably a thousand guides out there just google it.

If you want to write it in C+ then you need to look at c++ networking / client-server.
