Hey guys, I'm completely new (started yesterday) to asp.net web api and I'm making a project where I have all user info on a DB (username and password) and on this app I don't even want the possibility to register... the only ones who can login are the ones who are on the DB but I don't know how to do this authentication... what's the best way (easier to implement and safe) to do this and how?

Make login form.
On button click, check the database for given data
If it is found, user can proceed else shoot him down.

Do some research, find/create some code and come back when you get stuck. Thank you.

Have a look at the articles on the ASP.NET site:
