I've used Rick Olson's act_as_authenticated as well, and it's great for it's simplicity and lightweightness.
I've also used Salted Hash Login Generator, and if acts_as_authenticated is a glass of water, SHLG is a barrel of mud. Way over-engineered, and typically requires a lot of hand holding just to get it to work. And I've rolled my own based on simplified versions of SHLG. acts_as_authenticated is just enough to get the job done, and easily modifiable to add what you need. Very much the Ruby Way.
