Is this possible out of the box with Rails? or is an add-on or hack required?

A:
It isn't possible out of the box, but you can install one gem and get any authentication system you want.
And so forth. There are many solutions to solve your task. Just choose one.

I recommend you to watch http://railscasts.com/episodes/67-restful-authentication and http://railscasts.com/episodes/21-super-simple-authentication to get the idea about how to deal with those plugins. It's very easy! Just install one of them and generate some stuff (you can use screencasts, step-by-step guides, tutorials).
