What should I use to have users log into my ASP.net application?

Question

Should I create a userControl with two labels, two textboxes(for user/pass) and a button for submit?

Am I approaching this in the correct way?

Answer 1

Yes, you can, but it's safer and faster to use ASP.NET Membership provider and embeded Login controls
