im working on a secret project and for it, i need to implement login. i have a db collection named users with username and password. idk if I can use Auth for this . im incredibly confused.

TL;DR
Developer is confused about implementing login for a project using a `users` database collection. They are unsure if they can use Appwrite Auth. The solution is that Appwrite Auth is separate from Databases, so they would need to handle user authentication separately. They can check out the Auth docs at the provided link for more information.

I have a DB Collection named users. with attributes: username: string (32 chars) password: string (32 chars) can i implement Auth so it creates Users from the users collection and uses that instead of smth else?

No, Appwrite Auth is separate from Appwrite Databases
