New Version and old integrations

I hired a coder to integrate the 2.9 version with my website, to achieve single login/session keys, and retrieving information about chipbalances etc.
Will upgrading to the New 3.0 Version cause any problems with any of that coding?
You mentioned changes to the login process, which got me wondering about that.

It depends on how you are authenticating your logins. Session keys will work the same. However, since player passwords are now encrypted, you can longer retrieve them with the API. So if you were doing that for authentication, you will need to change that part of your code. There is a new API command called AccountsPassword that will allow you to verify a player's password. An example of that is displayed on the API Examples page:

See the SessionKey3.php example in the Automated Logins section.
