How to do WordPress user signup and login outside of WordPress

Question

This is a follow up to Is there an API for bbPress . I have confirmed that both bbPress and buddyPress uses WordPress user registration and login processes. They all the same. No difference.

What I want is to register and sign in the users of my WordPress site from my Android app.

I have come across this answer that talks about XML-RPC but I am still lost. Please do you have any idea how this can be done? Whether with this XML-RPC or any other way.

Answer 1

Write a php script for handling user login / logout . Include wp-load.php to this php script this way you can use wordpress functions in external php file. Then you can send login data to GET or POST method to this script.
