@julian aw that's unfortunate but thanks for the response though!

what about if my chat app made a direct connection to the database would that be possible?

the only issue i think then would be hashing the passwords the same way when checking if it's correct, but i dont know much about how databases work yet.

hey there!

i'm making a chat app for my users, and i was wondering if i could make it so people login to my chat app using their nodebb usernames and passwords.

i've done some googling and i can find how to make it so people can login to nodebb from another site (like facebook), but i want to make it so people login to my site using their nodebb accounts.

is this possible? my chat app is being written in nodejs and it will be hosted at the same place as the nodebb blog and the database.

thanks!
