Thanks for the tip on flash messages Ben, I'll check that out as part of 
process of elimination. I really like Devise as it eliminates a lot of 
boilerplate I'd have to write myself for forgotten email, rememberable, 
confirmation, etc.

I've never used memcache before, so that's only reason I didn't jump on it. 
I assume it will be v straightforward integrating it as with the rest of 
the Rails solutions. I got auth working with password_digest following 
railscasts wire it yourself, v flexible, easy but doesn't provide solution 
for email confirmation, forgotten email or password, etc.

Is there any performance benefit or deficit using memcache for session 
store vs cookies? Right up till that overflow Devise flowed v nice, I 
generated views for the model to have more flexibility in display for 
customer login vs admin login, its a v solid solution and seems to be most 
popular for authentication in ruby world.
