Hey! I’d love to use Discourse as a SSO on a headless WP installation. Is it possible with the current [WP discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) plugin? I’d like to use it for auth in WP so I can build functionality in WP, while avoiding for the users to have more than one account, and Discourse has the best user management of the two 🙂

Any ideas on how to implement this? What would be ideal is if all the users could be synchronized into Wordpress somehow, so that all authentication can be handled through WP but they will still be authenticated into both Discourse and WP. That way I can handle the authentication on the front end of the headless app…
