Caspio Authentication as an ID service

[guardmetrics]

I'm working on a mobile app that will be using APIs to submit data into Caspio.  My main obstacle is authentication.  

I have found the article regarding "Caspio Authentication as an ID service", my question is regarding this is the solution to allowing my native app Authenticate with Caspio as the authentication source.

Any thoughts/experience/etc. appreciated!

The only way to create the authentication using Caspio REST API is to store the passwords as the text data type, but not in the password data type
In this case, you will be able to compare the values and set up the logic to authenticate the users. 

The biggest disadvantage is that the text data type is not encrypted as the Password field.
