   Hello,

   I'm going to have to build small side-app for my WP blog. I will need to use my current WP credentials to log in.

   To check against wp_users table, I need to know how WP processes passwords. Where could I find this? Is there a better approcah (such as using a WP Api?)

   Best.

   Is it possible that it's just a md5()?

   I think you should look at wp-includes/pluggable.php:

   WordPress uses PasswordHash::CheckPassword to verify passwords. The library referenced can be found in wp-includes/class-phpass.php or at http://www.openwall.com/phpass/
