Flexible authentication solution for Rails with Warden.

Devise::Controllers::SignInOut#bypass_sign_in

Sign in a user bypassing the warden callbacks and stores the user
straight in session. This option is useful in cases the user is already
signed in, but we want to refresh the credentials in session.

Examples:

  bypass_sign_in @user, scope: :user
  bypass_sign_in @user
