@pitaj Thanks a lot! I will check it out

@pitaj Okay, should I create my own plugin or is there one already that is customizable?

@pitaj I would not be storing the password in the database. I just want to store the username(Account Number in my case) and use a third party to authenticate using the Account Number and Signing Key(password) provided during login. The same changed would be reflected in the registration as well i.e no password, just an account number and signing key. Sorry, I am new to NodeBB and please forgive me if I haven't explored much.

How do I change the login page and the method of login? I've found the point where the password verification happens. I guess I can implement my custom login over there but there would other implications from this as well, right? Also I want to change the login page with the field name changes. It will not use a "password" field but a signing key field. I have decided to make a fork of NodeBB with these custom pages for my forum.
