Currently, I am trying to develop using the sendbird chat api. However  
The result of making a sample application!  
I implemented the login function, but in order to log in, whenever I log in, I have to go to the SendBird dashboard, get an accsess token, and log in.  
So, I wonder if it would be more efficient to implement the password function through metadata or if it would be possible to receive the access token without entering the dashboard.

@yhlee2 Hello

- we do not support password login.

- but you can log in without issuing an access token while developing it.  
Why don’t you set up (dashboard → settings-\> security to read&write) so that it can be accessed without an access token on the dashboard?  

- And you can get access token through platform API(from getting user endpoint)
