Lats line

I've overlooked this since your strange / unreadable font and style. Please use the code tags for code. Also we don't know what you're doing around so please provide an example where it does not work. This works fine for me:

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  QApplication app(argc, argv);
  QLineEdit le;
  le.setEchoMode(QLineEdit::Password);
  le.show();
  return app.exec();
}

Thabks to all, I'm in manjaro 5.14.2
this is main

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "loginV.h"
#include "database.h"

#include <QtSql/QSql>
#include <QtSql/QSqlDatabase>
#include <QtSql/QSqlQuery>

#include <QApplication>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);

loginV accesso;
if(accesso.exec() == loginV::Accepted)
{
 /*   if (!database().createConnection())
       {
        qDebug() << "NON COnnesso";
    }
         else
                 {
        qDebug() << "Connesso";
    }
    */
    QSqlDatabase db ;
    QSqlQuery query;
    QString username = accesso.Nome();
    QString password = accesso.Password();
    qDebug() << username << password;
    QString command = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE username ='"+username +"' AND password = '"+ password + "' AND status = 0";
    db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QMYSQL");
    db.setHostName("192.168.1.25");
    db.setPort(3306);
    db.setDatabaseName(("test"));
    db.setUserName("paolol61");
    db.setPassword("19_Silvana_60");
    if(db.open())
    QSqlQuery query(db);
    if (query.exec(command))
    {
        if(query.size()>0)
        {
           qDebug() << "login OK";
        }
        else {
           qDebug() << "login Fallito";
        }
    }
    qDebug() << "login OK";
} else
{
    qDebug() << "Chiudo";
}

MainWindow w;
w.show();
return a.exec();

This is the dialog box

#include <QFormLayout>
#include <QLineEdit>
#include <QVBoxLayout>

public:
loginV(QWidget *parent = 0) : QDialog(parent) {
this->setWindowTitle("Login Program");
buttonBox = new QDialogButtonBox(
QDialogButtonBox::Ok | QDialogButtonBox::Cancel, Qt::Horizontal, this);

connect(buttonBox, &QDialogButtonBox::accepted, this, &QDialog::accept);
connect(buttonBox, &QDialogButtonBox::rejected, this, &QDialog::reject);

mU = new QLineEdit(this) ;
mP = new QLineEdit(this) ;

lU = new QLabel(this);
lU->setText("Utente");

lP->setText("Password");

connect(mP, &QLineEdit::textChanged, this, &loginV::setPassword);
mP->setEchoMode(QLineEdit::Password);
}
~loginV() {}
QString Nome() const {return mNome;}
QString Password() const {return mPass;}

void setNome(const QString &Nome) {mNome = Nome;}
void setPassword(const QString &Password) {mPass = Password;}

};
#endif // LOGINV_H

this is the Dialog Box when it run :(

Did you try my example? If it works for your then modify/reduce your code until you find the reason why it does not work. This is the life of a programmer...

[mrjj]

Hi
I tried your dialog.
And on windows, Qt 5.14

it does show as expected

[saulos]

Thanks I will try to find the bug.

to @Christian-Ehrlicher yes it works , thanks.

[saulos]

I find the bug, so if this happen to others I post the solution, I had to create the MainWindow first and then the logon box, don't know why but it works.
Again thanks to all.

QApplication a(argc, argv);
MainWindow w;
loginV accesso;

@saulos just a slightly off-topic, but a security issue here:

String command = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE username ='"+username +"' AND password = '"+ password + "' AND status = 0";

you don´t want to store the passwords in the DB, right?
you store a hash of the password instead

[saulos]

Hi @Pablo-J-Rogina thanks for care.
Don't worry I'm just learning the QT is not code for any of my customers :)
For work I encrypt password before sending to DB and use SP on server side :)

Are you using symmetric encryption?
How are you storing the passwords in the DB?
It still seems not a good security approach.

@Pablo-J-Rogina
I store the encrypted password , is this not good ?
Thanks

As mentioned before, a preferred approach is to store a hash of the password. See this article for more details about the topic.
