Very flexible plugin. Great, if you want to outsource the WP login process to your
own external database. Also very helpful support. Recommended!

Hi @tbenyon, man! what an amazing plugin you have created! I stumbled upon this 
one an hour ago. I was a little afraid it wouldn’t work since it hasn’t been updated
in a while, but luckily it seems to work without a problem with version 6.4.3. I
really congratulate you, the plugin looks very good and offers very useful options.
I think I am in tune with the feeling of the entire community when saying THANK 
YOU! (yes, in very huge capital letters). I have a little question. I wouldn’t dare
bother you with direct advice, I’ll just settle for you to please give me a couple
of pieces of tips that point me in the right direction: I have two websites “A” 
and “B” made with WordPress. “A” has the content and “B” has the users. Is it possible
for “A” to use “B’s” users without adding data to “A’s” wp_users and wp_usermeta
tables? I ask this question because I noticed that when I log in with a user from“
B”, it automatically adds a user record on “A’s” DB tables, which is not what I 
want, but just enable users from “B” on the website “A”, is that possible? Thank
you.

This plugin is great! It extend possibilities of making front-end user profile so
we can use other database (for example Minecraft Bukkit Server and AuthMe plugin).
This great plugin have special hooks thanks to which we can add additional functionalities
to our theme. The only limitation is the ability to add only one additional database,
but with the appropriate structure and thinking about the whole operation, it is
not a big problem 😉

This plugin is just awesome to sync between two different CMSs. And Tom is a very
responsible developer to support users.

This plugin works very well and helped me save a lot of work if I would have had
to implement something similar myself. Tom is very responsive when any issue arise.
Thanks!!
