Well I will say it is a very well written article, but it hits the database each and every request now although minimal impact it can create a networking bottleneck on heavy sites.
The most common and preferred method would be to once it is authenticated to stick the info into a session variable, and check against that before having to re hit the database for a valid login. As far as request goes that only lives for the current request, so by placing the data into that scope you are running that code each and every page request and again, this is an overhead that can be cut with a change in the way it is coded. Don't get me wrong, each to their own. Personally that method of hitting the DB, and then storing in the request scope is an overhead that really should be avoided if possible.
