Authorize.net - Storing a password

Discussions of secure PHP coding. Security in software is important, so don't be afraid to ask. And when answering: be anal. Nitpick. No security vulnerability is too small.

Authorize.net - Storing a password

Post by Luke »

Ok, I am building a site that will use Authorize.net for the payment gateway. It give me the choice to use a password for the account. If I were to use this password (for transactions) what would be the best way to store that password so that nobody get to it? I don't quite understand htaccess... so maybe I should read up on it.

you don't need to use the password ever. all you will use is the merchantid and the transaction-key values which can be stored in Database
