I liked obAuth too. It was simpler than the others seem to be. I took out the groups feature it had, and made a few small modifications, and added a few functions that made it easier to compare things (like 2 passwords when registering). I figured why bother having groups/ levels; you're either a user that needs to login, or not. For the admin features, I just have a separate system/site using the admin routing (sometimes I name it something weird to keep out URL guessers); one method I used was putting the password in regex in the model for that field. Not sure how secure that was though.
