Overview
This plugin allows to use the password from a working phpBB installation to log into a WordPress blog. or on the other side to log into phpBB with the WordPress user.
The username for the administration must be the same on the two installations.
Otherwise you will end having admins that have no privileges on the other part.
How it works
There is no actual “sync” of the users.

On password change it should also set the password on both platforms.
