this link talkes about a javascript login and has a js code that works with more then one password.
http://www.codetoad.com/forum/15_26454.asp
just like the page of the link states. Javascript isnt the best for user authentication.
I could show you how its done in Perl with SQL or Flat-File, witch is one of the better codes to use for authentication of multiple users.

Well you can make it all yourself or use a free web portal system that would have eveything you need Like.
YAWPS - My personal favorite, but it has bugs (i have the fixes for) and no support from the developer.
http://yawps.sourceforge.net/
WebAPP - I personaly dont like the style they code in, when i was a member i had a feeling to not trust them and now there developers are fighting over a source code issue (something about stolen code).
http://www.web-app.org # this group was the origanal maker of the code but then they broke up and moved to .net. now from what .net people say. The .org is back online and has stolen codes from .net
http://www.web-app.net # Personaly I dont trust eather of the two sites, But they have good support for there code.
Also PHP has many Free Web portals like PHPNuke, http://www.vbadvanced.com/ , and more!
If you still want to make your own, First pick what lang you want to code in. Javascript would not be the one to use for user authentication.
Find or ask for code examples and make it. Encrypting the passwords is not realy needed for a flat-file or SQL database, just as long as the database is secure. But if your code uses cookies it would be a good idea to use encryption on the password, so the users cookie dosnt reveile the raw password.
