login_bare is a normal function, it is intended to login through ajax, but 
it cant be used in this case, since it requires raw password (not hash).
I would create a table that maps hash of url (!!! Not url itself and  not 
hash-like part of url) to user_id and then use auth.login_user as Carlos 
mentioned.
