I am starting a a new web development project and I am tired of coding login systems. This is the kind of thing that must have been done dozens of times before.

I'm using the Facebook Connect API for the login system on a website built using PHP. There is no straightforward way to determine if a user is logged in. $fb = new Facebook($api, $secret); $fb->get_loggedin_user(); The above function always returns a user id, once a user has authenticated with the site, even if they sign out of Fac...

I've been trying to build my first rails app and have gotten stuck on the issue of user authentication. I've found a number of tutorials for using various plug-ins to do this, but so far every single one of them is out-dated, and as a result, broken! From what I've read, I think Authlogic may be the best fit for me, and I've tried two ...
I have a web application that I would like to allow persistent access to that is not dependent on the browser cookie system.
