Can I use Sqlite in a ASP.NET login application?

Question

In a simple page, that requires a user/password to get all access, can I store such a login data in a sqlite database? is this safe? I'm asking because I don't know much about sqlite in background. What I know is that it's just a simple file, that I should think it as "if using fopen()".

What is safer is avoiding writing your own security libraries, if you use the ASP.NET forms auth and membership providers, you get a lot of security features that have been field tested, here is the sqlite version: codeproject.com/Articles/29199/… — MatthewMartin

There is no reason to believe it wouldn't be secure as long as you configure IIS to block serving the file.

Which can be done by putting it in the App_Data folder, which by default, ASP.NET will not server any file from that folder (but it is accessible to code via the file system)
