Greetings,

I've looked over the API documentation and such, but nothing really extensive here. I just wanted to know a quick answer if there's a supported method for a user to login on a third-party site (aka my guild site I'm about to create) using the authentication method outlined in section 1.2 , can I use this method for a login form? I just wanted players who wish to login with their corresponding character and not need to 'sign up' , if not I'm probably doing the FB/Twitter method. Thanks.

your best bet is to use a existing login system have them login and verify there toon by unequipting items 3 at least at random and they only be valid for 5 min the max update for the api window
