Assuming this is something you've done before, or at least thought through...by a custom model, surely you mean extending the Model class and overriding any incompatible methods, right? I just checked all of the methods included in the Model class - that's 120 methods according to Zend for Eclipse. Yikes!
Regardless, I believe I left out some pertinent information. There will be user data stored in a table on a local database, it's simply the username and password (used for authentication) that will not be accessible in this table. Would the suggested solution still be the same?
