You do not say which technologies you are using, so it is almost impossible to answer your question in a meaningful way.

Here[^] is an elementary tutorial using PHP and MySql. If your needs are different to that then use a search engine to search on something like website login.

You question is very very scary. Username/password is your first line of defense. If you don't know how to do it, please do not implement it by asking question how you can do it. If your implementation is not safe and secure it may not be much useful.

You need to start with understanding your system and underline technologies. You simply stated HTTP for tag, well all of the technologies use HTTP.

1. Identify your technology
2. Read and understand the security mechanism your technology supports
3. Design your login mechanism with security in mind.

Then when you encounter specific question, feel free to ask specific question.
