MyBB Community Forums

Hello
I'm building an installer for my application, and i'd like member to log into their account for the installer to run. I've created a php file for account checking, but nothing came to my mind for password checking as the password is encrypted. So is there any way to check if the password is right to replace serial key?
Thanks

If I read your question right,

You would like to use your forum user passwords table for fetching it with licenses?

yep
It's right :3

I would discourage this approach. You do not want to pass passwords in plaintext from your application's installer to your forum. An alternative would be to have a custom page in MyBB which would show a code your installer could then verify.

You could use some parsing stuff and others to fetch, parse and crypt the passwords, that will be more secure.

But it would be easier if you don't fetch passwords with your licenses and use another database with pre-generated license codes, and automatically add these to the user accounts or something like that.
