class Devise::Strategies::TokenAuthenticatable

Strategy for signing in a user, based on a authenticatable token. This works for both params and http. For the former, all you need to do is to pass the params in the URL:

http://myapp.example.com/?user_token=SECRET

For HTTP, you can pass the token as username and blank password. Since some clients may require a password, you can pass “X” as password and it will simply be ignored.
