I'm building something on top of WordPress atm, and due to the nature

overriding the functionality, I've removed the ability for users to
override the authentication methods themselves.. So right now, its
either my app, or authenticate against a 3rd party.. (App = Its not a
plugin, its not atheme, its a entire app with WP as a backend)

If it was changed to use filters like that, Then it'd be possible for
both my app and for 3rd-party authentication to work at the same
time.. (Assuming the 3rd party auth. used the filters too).. I hadnt
yet sat down and thought about a workaround, but filters definately
fit the bill :)
