Q: 

ASP.NET Forms Auth: authenticate programmatically

Hi,

I was hacking on a website, and found that the original authentication model is Forms Authentication to login this website's members... and I need to integrate another service (say OpenID, Google Connect, Facebook Connect... etc.). How can I programmatically authenticate an external user on my website, knowing that he has been authenticated by one of these services ?

Thanks

Try this thread - OpenID

+1. Also keep in mind that FormsAuthentication does not mean "username+password". It means redirection-based authentication. So Facebook, Twitter, OpenID,... these are all reasonable authentication methods for FormsAuthentication.
