I have read a few threads asking how to integrate MyBB's db with a member site so users only have one password. Has anyone done this?
We have an existing membership db and rather have them sign up for the forum I would like to use the existing db.
Future home of the forum:

If you're willing to pay for a custom plugin, probably. But it really depends on how your existing db is setup too. MyBB still needs its fields... but with a custom plugin can read username and password from the existing db.
Oh, and hey!! That's Michigan!! I live in MI... unless you're on the Canadian side of the SOO
Thanks ralgith,
Actually I am just starting on the membership side of the db so I don't really have one in place yet.
I am on the Canadian side - Soo, Ontario. Why where are you in Soo MI?

Ralgith is correct that there is no simple solution.
You have two (or 3) major topics:

SSO with MyBB is actually pretty easy* thanks to phpDave /
Welcome to the MyBB Integrator and / or create a plugin which hooks into the MyBB login system and figure out how to securely pass the data to your other site.
*ps. Dual-logout is fun too.
2) User-sync:
New registration isn't too hard, but...

"complete solution" starts to look like an option.
