I’m just hoping someone knows which route is best to take when it comes to creating login forms that require users to insert a username and password.

My main concern is about security. I don’t want someone to be able to simply press “CTRL + U” and be able to view my allowed username or password. Is either route safe to take. I mean… is using flash for this purpose any better/simpler than using PHP + MySQL?
