In just about all of my C++ programs, if you open up the program in notepad, you can see almost every string used in plaintext.
This is a problem because i am trying to make a secure password system.
Any output that i have shows up in notepad.
Any strings that i have shows up in notepad
Any strings used in a if statement or while loop shows up.

Is there anyway that i can stop this from happening? The only way i can think of is to put each character that i dont want to show up in an array, but thats causing problems when i try to use that in a conditional statement
