Hello Ruslan, I tried to use the "authapi.login_user" method but it looks to me like the login_bare method works better and requires less coding to make it work. I currently have added the login code to the "user" method in the "default.py".
When I used the "authapi.login_user" method, it logs my user in, but still displays the login window instead of skipping it as I would like. When I use the "login_bare" method, it does not display the login window.
