the code is not complete please complete it it doesn't store backspace as a character but it doesn't erase the word either
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;
int main(){
string pass ="" ;
char ch;
cout << "Enter pass\n" ;
ch = _getch();
while (ch != 13){//character 13 is enter
pass.push_back(ch);
cout << '*' ;
if (ch == 8) // 8 is the ascii code of backspace
{
if (pass.length() > 0)
{
pass.erase(pass.length() - 1, 1);
//Erase the last Character in password signs
cout << '\b' << " " << '\b' ;
}
}
ch = _getch();
}
if (pass == "sarmad" ){
cout << "\nAccess granted :P\n" ;
}else {
cout << "\nAccess aborted...\n" ;
}
_getch();
}

the problem is that you insert the backspace and then you remove it. In other words: line 11/12 must be in the else branch of the if (ch == 8)
on line 13. That way you don't insert the backspace but remove the last inserted char.
