int main()
{
	string file;
	string password;

	cout << "Secure Password Checker." << endl;

	cin >> file;

	//Open the file
	InFile.open(file.c_str());

	if(InFile.is_open() == false)
	{
		cout << "Sorry, there must be a mistake, there is no such file!" << endl;
		return 1;
	}

	//reading file for strings and such to start out the test
	getline(InFile, name);
	getline(InFile, password);
	InFile >> num1;
	InFile >> num2;

	

	//close file
	InFile.close();
	
	int pass_Length = password.length();
	invalid_password(int pass_Length);

	return 0;
}

void invalid_Password(int pass_Length)
{
	if(password.length() < 6)
	{
		cout << "The file myfile.txt is invalid." << endl;
	}
}

It's telling me that password in password.length() has not been identified. What's wrong with it?

You have made an error in Line 60 - in the invalid_Password function.
This functions has no local string variable called password, so your
statement if(password.length() < 6) is incorrect.

You meant to check the value of pass_Length.
