C++ my program reads backspace as a character - c++

Question

I am working with a c++ program, but I am stuck with annoying bug. The bug is that when i type the password, it counts backspace as a character so can I fix it? Here is the code.
#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;
int main() {
string password, username, lon, nu, np;
char c;
int StarNum = 0, humanproof;
cout << "Do you wanna create a user or login?";
cout << "\nLogin" << endl;
cout << "New" << endl;
cin >> lon;
if(lon=="login"){
goto login;
}
if(lon=="new"){
goto newa;
}
login:
cout << "Username: ";
cin >> username;
lol:
cout << "Password: ";
while (c != 13)
{
c = (char)getch();
if(c == 13) break;
StarNum++;
password += c;
cout << "*";
if (c == 127 || c == 8){
//go here to fix the problem
}
password = "";
goto lol;
}
}
if(username == "user" && password == "pass" || username == nu && password == np){
cout << "\nYou are logged in.";
goto options;
} else {
cout << "\nusername or password is wrong" << endl;
return 0;
}
return 0;
newa:
cout << "Username:";
cin >> nu;
cout << "password:";
cin >> np;
cout << "Type the number fourhoundred and twentie three too proof you are a human: ";
cin >> humanproof;
if(humanproof == 423){
cout << "The username is " << nu << endl;
for(int no = 0; no <= 100; no++){
cout << endl;
}
goto login;
return 0;
}
if(humanproof!=423){
cout << "wrong answer!";
return 0;
}
options:
int op;
cout << "\nwhat do you want to do?" << endl;
cout << "1. Calculator" << endl;
cout << "2. About"<< endl;
cout << "3. Just for fun" << endl;
cout << "4. Exit" << endl;
cin >> op;
if(op==1){
goto calculator;
}
if(op==2){
goto info;
}
if(op==3){
goto fun;
}
if(op==4){
return 0;
}
else{
cout << "you entered a invalid number. " << endl;
return 0;
}
calculator:
double n1, n2, sum;
int opa;
cout << "Choose a operation" << endl;
cout << "1. Addition/+" << endl;
cout << "2. Subscraction/-" << endl;
cout << "3. Multiplication/x" << endl;
cout << "4. Divsion/ /" << endl;
cin >> opa;
if(opa == 1){
cout << "enter number 1" << endl;
cin >> n1;
cout << "enter number 2" << endl;
cin >> n2;
sum = n1 + n2;
cout << "the sum is " << sum;
return 0;
}
if(opa == 2){
cout << "enter number 1" << endl;
cin >> n1;
cout << "enter number 2" << endl;
cin >> n2;
sum = n1 - n2;
cout << "the sum is " << sum;
return 0;
}
if(opa == 3){
cout << "enter number 1" << endl;
cin >> n1;
cout << "enter number 2" << endl;
cin >> n2;
sum = n1 * n2;
cout << "the sum is " << sum;
return 0;
}
if(opa == 4){
cout << "enter number 1" << endl;
cin >> n1;
cout << "enter number 2" << endl;
cin >> n2;
sum = n1 / n2;
cout << "the sum is " << sum;
return 0;
}
if(opa > 4){
cout << "You entered a invalid number";
goto calculator;
}
info:
cout << "Created by Bergur 2013";
return 0;
fun:
cout << "You want an eyepad(ipad)?";
}

Answer 1

Your code already checks:
while (c != 13)
And prevent newline from being handled, do similar to what you need with the backspace character, whose number is 8
To fix your issue, before:
StarNum++;
Add:
if (c == 8 && StarNum > 0) {
StarNum--;
if (password.size () > 0)
password.resize (password.size () - 1);
continue;
}

Answer 2

Please format your code. Also, try to provide a minimal code which reproduce the problem, not the whole code.
Unrelated to your problem
Try not to use goto.
Do not use ASCII values, but use the char literals instead, i.e. use '\n' instead of 13.
Also, you can simply add an iother condition inside your while:
while (c != '\n' && c != ' ')
