Refinery uses devise so you can use that as well. You can create a model that might look something like this:

module Refinery
  module Partners
    class Partner < Refinery::Core::BaseModel
      self.table_name = 'refinery_partners'      

      acts_as_indexed :fields => [:name]

      validates :email, :presence => true, :uniqueness => true

      #devise methods
      devise :database_authenticatable, :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable,:validatable, :authentication_keys => [:email]


    end
  end
end

and not to forget the migration:

class CreatePartnersPartners < ActiveRecord::Migration

  def up
    create_table :refinery_partners do |t|
      t.string :email
      t.string :name

      ## Database authenticatable
      t.string :encrypted_password, :null => false, :default => ""

      ## Recoverable
      t.string   :reset_password_token
      t.datetime :reset_password_sent_at

      ## Rememberable
      t.datetime :remember_created_at

      ## Trackable
      t.integer  :sign_in_count, :default => 0
      t.datetime :current_sign_in_at
      t.datetime :last_sign_in_at
      t.string   :current_sign_in_ip
      t.string   :last_sign_in_ip

      t.timestamps
    end

  end

  def down
    if defined?(::Refinery::UserPlugin)
      ::Refinery::UserPlugin.destroy_all({:name => "refinerycms-partners"})
    end

    if defined?(::Refinery::Page)
      ::Refinery::Page.delete_all({:link_url => "/partners/partners"})
    end

    drop_table :refinery_partners

  end

end

This should create the basic model that you can use. To finish up, change the routes.rb in your extension to add devise routes:

  devise_for :partners, :class_name => "Refinery::Partners::Partner",
  :controllers => {:sessions => 'refinery/partners/sessions', :passwords => 'refinery/partners/passwords'}

and override refinery/partners/passwords_controller.rb

module Refinery
  module Partners
    class PasswordsController < Devise::PasswordsController
    end
  end
end

and refinery/partners/sessions_controller.rb

module Refinery
  module Partners
    class SessionsController < Devise::SessionsController
    end
  end
end

now you should have everything you need
