Allowing anyone to enter their own userName and passWord

Watching the video Pasan enters his name as the userName and a some sort of String which has to be matched in the simulator or an error will appear. I was wondering how would I be able to implement some code which allows any userName and passWord to be entered. I would imagine there would have to be some form of database and then the code would have to check if there is such a userName and passWord in the database.

Sorry my bad, it is the swift 2 course and login example for delegates I was just curious but I'm pretty sure I need to have a sign up view controller to add someone to a database as well as a log in if I wanted anyone to be able to log in

For an app that has users, you will probably want to use an external database. There are two vary popular free services that have API's for them. Firebase by Google and Backendless.

I found Backendless to be easier to use and closer to the way Parse worked.
