Honestly, I'd suggest not doing it and instead taking the approach that IPS built for IPB - IP.Connect. You don't 'share' by having a common database but instead have a master/slave approach. When logging in the slave contacts the parent, if the account already exists it'll authenticate and pass back a token to log in that account, if not it'll create the account.
The best bit is that despite the name it isn't entirely IPS bound so you could conceivably implement a plugin for SMF, Elkarte and Wedge that acts as both master and slave and handles all this stuff.

Just put "remove authentication from models and move it to controllers where it belongs"
