Login with username password without the salesforce web-UI #104

I need to login to salesforce with application specific credentials. Therefor, I need to login from within the app. Is this possible in SwiftlySalesforce? I think I can get a token by logging in via a POST request, but can I inject that token somewhere into SwiftlySalesforce so it actually uses it?

@tychop - Swiftly Salesforce is designed only for the recommended OAuth user-agent flow, which temporarily redirects the user to the Salesforce-hosted login form and then back with an access token. (It's a security risk for mobile apps to handle or store the Salesforce username and password.)
