Hello - when a user signs up on my wordpress site, they should be able to sign in with the same login on the forum PHPbb3 and the other way.

I know about wp-united but it has not been updated for a year.

You could always customize your installation. Locate the authentication modules for each and create your own table or cross-reference system of sorts that keeps them in synch. Anybody else that is using both systems have any advice for zeus?

I haven't done it and maybe Zues knows this, but the common term for that is bridge. Hit the search engines for wordpress phpbb bridge and you should get some starting points.

Indeed, bridge (or integration) is the more proper term. I know there are bridges between many of these open source applications, like Joomla and Moodle, for example. I've implemented that bridge for somebody last year. I ran a quick search just now for a WP PHPBB bridge and see plenty of hits.
