[Tutor] Help with basic user-data file

[Rob Andrews]

To keep the information, the simplest solution is simply to save it in
a text file that the program can load into memory when it starts up
again. For sensitive information like passwords, a little extra fuss
is generally merited.

When someone logs in, you can save a value like
time.strftime(time.ctime()) for a nice, human-readable time stamp.
Don't forget to "import time" first.
