The user will be able to login with both password (the one stored
locally or the one stored remotely). If the user uses this remote
password, it is copied (hashed) locally.
This is not really the best/safest way to do it but it is not really
designed for a web2.0 app. This is designed for allowing a small group
of users trusting you already (employees of your company, clients,
etc.) to login without registering if they have already an account in
one of the trusted parties. Imagine for example you want to give login
access to people who already have an email (smtp) account on your
system.
