Hey everyone I am new to using Wix and the Wix Code platform but have a lot of experience coding from scratch. I am trying to determine if Wix Code allows us to have a user create their own password and then save the hashed version of this password.
I don’t want to directly save their password cause like we all know that is terrible for security. Do I have to create my own hashing function on the front that the users password goes through before getting saved to the database? Or is this functionality built in somewhere?
Hi! From what i know, login/signup mechanizm in wixcode uses the same code as general Wix login. You don’t actually save user’s password anywhere, it’s all handled by the system. YTou actually don’t have access to users’ passwords.
So security level is the same as general wix passwords (pretty high)
Hi Can someone please advice- Is it possible to migrate/extract user login credentials from wix, if I decide to migrate my website to some other platform?
Hi! No it’s not possible i believe. You don’t actually have control over your users’ passwords. It’s stored in general wix database for credentals - this helps to maintain needed level of security
