Hardcoded Password

Reasoning

Hardcoding sensitive information such as passwords in the source code is a significant security risk. If an attacker gains access to the source code, they will also have access to the password. This could lead to unauthorized access to the system.

Suggested Amended Code

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    string password;

    cout << "Enter your password: ";
    cin >> password; 
    // 12345565 is our password loasd more
    if(password == "123465") {
        cout << "Access granted.";   
    } else {
        cout << "Access denied.";   
    }    
    return 0;
}
