Many people use wordpress to run blogs alongside their Ruby on Rails applications. And many 
Ruby on Rails applications use very similar login systems, derived from the restful_authentication 
or clearance plugins. This plugin provides hooks so that your wordpress blog can read your rails 
app’s database.yml file, connect to that database and authenticate the user against your rails app.
This plugin requires the syck PHP extension for parsing yaml. Instructions for installing syck are available at 
http://trac.symfony-project.org/wiki/InstallingSyck
<h3>To Do</h3>
<ul>
<li>Add automated tests</li>
<li>Solicit user feedback on further options</li>
</ul>

Rownd is a user authentication and account platform that helps you convert more visitors to your website into actual (paying) customers.
We’re focused on passwordless sign-in that uses email and SMS as a means of distributing authentication links that allow users to verify 
their email/phone after they’ve had the opportunity to explore your product or service.
When you install the Rownd plugin for WordPress, you’ll bring our powerfully simple authentication and user account capabilities into 
your website, blog, or ecommerce site.
Rownd integrates with the existing WordPress user management system, which means we’re compatible with WooCommerce and many other 
WordPress addons! We’ll also detect whether you have WooCommerce installed and provide options to customize your customer experience 
during the checkout process.
Whether you’re accepting user signups already or want to start, Rownd makes it super-simple to get visitors and customers up and running quickly. 
Easily trigger our sign-in dialog by setting some HTML data attributes in your code or writing some simple Javascript and we’ll handle getting 
your users verified and signed in using our unique, passwordless approach.
To get started, you’ll need:
<ol>
<li>A free <a href="https://app.rownd.io" rel="nofollow ugc">Rownd account</a></li>
<li>A Rownd app key</li>
</ol>
Once you install this plugin, drop your app key and secret into our settings and you’ll be good to go!
Usage of this plugin is governed by Rownd’s <a href="https://rownd.io/terms-and-conditions" rel="nofollow ugc">terms of service</a>.
