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.
