[typo] Typo Integration with existing application

[Tom Cocca]

Thank you Kevin. 

Unfortunately I already have the whole account system working.  I was 
wondering more if there was like an authentication API for typo?  
basically to integrate my current login and the Typo login together.  If 
this isn't the best option I would love to hear other options to getting 
this done.  The main goal is to not have to make users log in twice on 
the one site.

Thanks again,
~ Tom
