[How To?] Use Wordpress Database

[Dilyar]

Hey there,

Is it possible to use wordpress data base for mybb? I would like to make it so that when users register on wordpress they can use the same login info for the forum as well, vise versa. If not, is there a plugin?

currently available simple method is to use external DB authorization plugin for wordpress & disable
