This may be tricky, as the Auth system is designed assuming passwords will be used. You'll probably have to create your own login and registration actions instead of using those provided by Auth. You can use auth.login_bare instead to log someone in, though you may need to give everyone a non-empty dummy password for that to work. Another option would be to skip using auth.login_bare and just manually update auth.user yourself -- or store your own login data/flag in the session. Basically, you can probably take advantage of the built-in auth_user table, but you'll end up handling most of the registration/login/authentication/authorization logic yourself.
