Answer 1

If you don't have a database, where will the PERMANENT record of your users' login data be stored? Sure, while the user is logged in, the minimal user information required for your site to work can be stored in a session or cookie. But after they log out, then what? The session goes away, the cookie can be hacked.

So your user comes back to your site. He tries to log in. What trustworthy thing does your site compare his login info to?
