Here's a method my colleague just showed me:

# In config/application.rb
module YourAppNameHere
  class Application < Rails::Application
  # Whatever else is already here...

    # The part to add
    config.to_prepare do
      Devise::SessionsController.skip_before_filter :your_before_filter_here
    end
  end
end
