I am not sure if this is best practice or not, but I am just trying to create a simple login system just for me on a website that I have. I don't want to use a database to store one password, and I'm using Angular across the site. I don't want the password to be in plain text in the javascript for anyone to see. 

One solution that I thought of was doing something like this:

```
  $scope.loginValue = false;
  $scope.loginFunction = function(password){
    if(password == <?php echo 'test123' ?>){
      $scope.loginValue = true;
    }
  }

```

Does anyone know how I might be able to accomplish this? Right now I get an error because JavaScript doesn't like the '<' character in my if statement. Again, I don't want the password to be visible in the javascript, but I'm not using and databases or API calls. I'm up for suggestions as well. :)

Other thoughts I had, were using a hash, which I've never done before....yeah, I'm open to ideas. :)

Thank you all in advance.

So, I ended up going with the answer that @musicfuel suggested. I am now trying to get this to work. As suggested, my login.php file has the following:

```
<? echo $_POST['password'] == 'test123' ? true : false ?>

```

The password is $scope.password coming from user input. When they submit their credentials it calls this function

```
$scope.loginFunction = function(){
    loginService.getLogin().then(function(response){
      console.log(response);
    }, function(error){
      $rootScope.loggedIn = false;
    });
};

```

And here is the loginService:

```
myApp.controller('myController', ['$scope', '$rootScope', 'loginService', function myController($scope, $rootScope, loginService) {

.service('loginService', ['$http', '$q', '$rootScope', function($http, $q, $rootScope){
    var getLogin = function() {
      $http.post('login.php'), {
          password: $scope.password
      }, function (success) {
          console.log("Login result: " + success);
      }, function (error) {
          console.log("Couldn't complete the login request.");
      } 
    }
  }])
}]);

```

When this function runs, I get the following error:TypeError: loginService.getLogin is not a function
Do you know why it can't find it?
