If I've got a rails application and I'd like to add authentication to with Devise, how would I allow users who have a null password in the database to sign in without one?
I'm interested in hearing answers along the lines of the lifecycle and what files I'd have to author to get it done.

It turns out, Devise is built on Warden. This means that I only have to create my own custom Warden strategy:

Step 1: Allow the record to be saved.
Step 2: Sign in the record
To allow the record to be saved, you'll want to do validations yourself. I describe here how to do custom validations: http://jessewolgamott.com/blog/2011/12/08/the-one-where-devise-validations-are-customized/ .... In your case, you'll want to remove the password validations.
To sign in the record, you'll need to have a custom sign in path. You can override the devise sessions controller, but this could do the trick:
class SessionsController < ApplicationController
def create
user = User.find_by_email!(params[:session][:email])
sign_in user
redirect_to root_path
end
end
