This is a very common practice in mobile development. Read up on it

TL;DR
The user is discussing migrating from Firebase and Django to Appwrite. They mention wanting to test user credentials in Appwrite for security. Other users explain that achieving 100% security is virtually impossible and that hacking is always a possibility. The user acknowledges this but still wants to check all possible security measures. It is suggested to use a method of sending mobile numbers and OTP through a cloud function. The discussion concludes with the understanding that while security measures can be taken, there is always a chance of hacking. No solution is provided for testing user credentials in Appwrite.

An app or website is never 100% secure

It's just harder to get into

Shubham

So you shouldn't be looking to do this - make hacking impossible

Shubham

safwan

It is easy, but it looks like you want 100% security. This is virtually impossible 😅

Shubham
14 Aug, 2023, 13:53

yes but we can make the layer so that normal hacker can not do this

The mthod I suggested, of sending the mobile number and and otp on cloud function is as good as it can get

safwan
14 Aug, 2023, 13:54

At least for now.

Shubham
