Authentication Modes
KaLogin supports two authentication modes.
AuthMe mode#
Use this mode if your server already uses AuthMe.
use-AuthMe: true
In this mode:
| Item | Managed by |
|---|---|
| Account password and login state | AuthMe |
| Login, registration, and password change screens | KaLogin |
| Email, terms, and auto login settings | KaLogin |
Make sure AuthMe is installed and enabled. If AuthMe is not available, KaLogin falls back to its built in mode.
KaLogin built in mode#
Use this mode if you do not use AuthMe.
use-AuthMe: false
In this mode:
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Accounts | Managed by KaLogin |
| Passwords | Stored with secure hashes |
| Storage | SQLite or MySQL |
