    No it is not.

    You can use the vBulletin user database in other applications through modifications to them to integrate with vBulletins user information.

        As modification is involved, you will need to ask in the pre-sales forum at our modifications site http://www.vbulletin.org

          You don't need to change vb behavior in order to use the table. Just use the same procedure vb uses to check if a given password is correct: hash the given password using the vb algorithm, and then check if the hash coincides with the one stored in the database. If they are the same, then you can be 100% confident the password was the good one.
