Look at adding support for some more flexible auth backends. See:

Also, from another project's experience:
"You may already have this covered, but if not ... you might want to allow
for **non** username + password authentication.  Things like TypeKey,
OpenID, and various single signon systems work using a vastly different
algo than username+password, and you may wish to take that into account.
PEAR Auth suffers from that problem; Solar_Auth and its adapters I had to
almost completely rewrite to allow for both kinds of processing.)"
