What does "log the user in" mean?  It depends on the LoginMethods 
used.  For example, you *can't* "log the user in with basic auth.  If 
you're using cookies, you need to set the cookie (and perhaps issue a 
redirect to the desired page).

I don't recall there being a standard way to ask a login method to do 
something like this.  The "credentialsChanged" thing is for changing the 
credentials of a user that might *already* be logged in.
