The bundle you linked is a better solution than your current.
It's because of the differences between security needs of a REST Api and a classic form-based application.

Look at the jwt.io introduction to Json Web Token, and after, you should try to implement the LexikJWTAuthenticationBundle which is very clean, easy-to-use, securely and powerful.

JWT will provide more security and a ready-to-use login process, only need a few lines of configuration. Of course, you can easily manage, register and create token from users retrieved/registered by your user provider (for me it's the FOSUserBundle).

A JWT is a real signature representing your user. Read more in the link I've given you.

See also this JWTAuthenticationBundle Sandbox for a real example with AngularJS.
