Custom UI for login #186

Closed jakunico closed 8 years ago

jakunico commented 8 years ago

Hi there,

I was wondering wether there's a way you can skip OAUTH authentication method and do a regular POST of your username/password like other clients do.

The mains reason why I'm wondering this is because you'd be able to build a custom UI for login which is much better than the ugly web login interface.

Well, let me know what you think @sonsongithub !

reddit.com announced that cookie-authentication will be discontinued in the future. Cookie-authentication is currently deprecating.

I do not want to implement the login method which is will be discontinued.... I put up with the OAuth in order to make applications more secure.

I see... There're some apps still using this method and still working correctly.

Anyway, that makes sense
