Excel VBA Userform login with username and password on server

Question

I have a userform where the user can enter username and password. I found the code here Excel VBA & UserForm Login and Password VLOOKUP Table in Sheet

Private Sub LogIn_Click()
    Dim Username As String
    Dim Password As String
    Dim passWs As Worksheet
    Dim lRow As String
    Dim rng As Range
    Dim CorrectDetails As Boolean
    Dim i As Integer


    Username = Me.Username.Text

    Password = Me.Password.Text

    If Len(Trim(Username)) = 0 Then
        Me.Username.SetFocus
        MsgBox "Username", vbOKOnly, "Username"
        Exit Sub
    End If

    If Len(Trim(Password)) = 0 Then
        Me.Password.SetFocus
        MsgBox "Password", vbOKOnly, "Password"
        Exit Sub
    End If

    Set passWs = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Users")

    With passWs
        lRow = .Range("B" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

        For i = 1 To lRow
            If UCase(Trim(.Range("B" & i).Value)) = UCase(Trim(Username)) Then '<~~ Username Check
                If .Range("C" & i).Value = Password Then '<~~ Password Check
                    CorrectDetails = True
                    Unload Me
                    MsgBox "Välkommen " & Username


                    Sheets("Start").Activate

                    '~~> Admin is True
                    If .Range("D" & i).Value = "True" Then
                        '
                        '~~> Do what you want
                        '
                    Else
                        '
                        '~~> Do what you want
                        '
                    End If

                    Exit For
                End If
            End If
        Next i

        '~~> Incorrect Username/Password
        If CorrectDetails = False Then
            MsgBox "Felaktivt användarnamn och/eller lösenord"
        End If
    End With
End Sub

I also have a function I found at https://www.ozgrid.com/forum/forum/help-forums/excel-general/86714-vba-read-text-file-from-a-url

Function GetFromWebpage(URL As String) As String
On Error GoTo Err_GetFromWebpage

Dim objWeb As Object
Dim strXML As String

' Instantiate an instance of the web object
Set objWeb = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")

' Pass the URL to the web object, and send the request
objWeb.Open "GET", URL, False
objWeb.send

' Look at the HTML string returned
strXML = objWeb.responsetext

GetFromWebpage = strXML


End_GetFromWebpage:
' Clean up after ourselves!
Set objWeb = Nothing
Exit Function

Err_GetFromWebpage:
' Just in case there's an error!
MsgBox Err.Description & " (" & Err.Number & ")"
Resume End_GetFromWebpage
End Function

And the function is called:

Sub MainSub()
Dim MyString As String, s As String

MyString = GetFromWebpage("http://127.0.0.1/test3.csv")

s = MyString
Debug.Print s
End sub

The contents of my .csv file is:

Username;Password
User1;123
User2;333

I am trying to split mystring into username and password pairs and then check in my login form if the username and password entered is the same as on the server.

To help you with the obtaining the usernames and passwords part:

You could use the text to columns functionality in Excel to split into two columns and then loop those. However, I would read the CSV column A info into an array and then loop the array. Use the Split function with delimiter ";"to generate your pairs, assign the values from the split to password and username variables and then use those for your testing.

Example that needs adapting below:

Option Explicit
Public Sub test()
    Dim ws As Worksheet, loginDetails(), currentLogin As Long, pairs() As String, lastRow As Long
    Set ws = Workbooks("name of CSV").Worksheets("Sheet1")   '<==change this to the open CSV name
    Dim pword As String, username As String
    With ws
        lastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
        If lastRow = 1 Then                      '<change to 2 if header present
            ReDim loginDetails(1, 1): loginDetails(1, 1) = .Range("A1").Value '<= change this to A2 if header
        Else
            loginDetails = .Range("A1:A" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row).Value 'Change to A2: if header present
        End If
        For currentLogin = LBound(loginDetails, 1) To UBound(loginDetails, 1)
            pword = vbNullString: username = vbNullString
            If InStr(loginDetails(currentLogin, 1), ";") > 0 Then
                pairs = Split(loginDetails(currentLogin, 1), ";")
                username = pairs(0)
                pword = pairs(1)
                'Debug.Print username, pword
                'other code to test login

            End If
        Next
    End With
End Sub
