 * I am currently attempting to develop a mobile app that works with my wordpress
   site through basic authentication with its user’s. I would like to know what 
   would be the best way to test a user’s credentials but do nothing else. That 
   way I can provide a “login screen” where it validates their credentials then 
   stores them on the device if they are valid. So far I have not seen a way to 
   do that in the documentation. Am I just overlooking it or is my approach to this
   entirely wrong?
