This isn't currently supported by the Wordpress plugin, and implementing
it is a little tricky, as Wordpress will need to provide a token
generator endpoint.

I'm probably not going to get to this soon, but if you happen to know
PHP and fancy contributing to the Wordpress plugin, then here are all
the relevant links.

Wordpress plugin source code:
  https://github.com/okfn/annotator-wordpress

Annotator auth documentation:
  https://github.com/okfn/annotator/wiki/Authentication

OpenShakespeare token generator:

https://github.com/okfn/shakespeare/blob/master/shakespeare/controllers/token.py

Do join the annotator-dev list (in CC) and don't hesitate to ask for
help there.

Best wishes,
Nick
