You need to contact the owner of the server to see what services are available to you.

Whatever you do, don't store or transmit the password in plain text!

Hi,

To this task, you can do this:
1 - Create a web api with database to login and password. This application you can send cloud like this: VPS/VDS Hosting. ASP.Net MVC Hosting. Free ASP.Net Hosting

To create web api, link:
RESTful Day #5: Security in Web APIs-Basic Authentication and Token based custom Authorization in Web APIs using Action Filters

2 - Consume this web api using rest service with httpclient library
