since you dont wanna save any mysql passwords or stuff like that in your .exe or project the best way would be to use php.

setup some webserver and code a php file, that takes 2 arguments like: checkpassword.php?username=xxx&password=xXXx

the php file should give a result 0 or 1 and you can get the result in your c++ program by fetching a webpage into a buffer and check the strings. You can do the request with wininet library or winsock library.
