Hello: We are trying to develop an authentication system and before we start we want to know if there is one already implemented. We have though about using restful authentication to login, simple captcha to prevent bots, action mailer to confirm user and also if he/she loses the password… Is there any system that implements all that?? Thank you very much in advance Enrique ---

There is a Captcha plugin for Rails [http://expressica.com/2007/02/06/simple-captcha-released-the-captcha-for-rails-applications/](http://expressica.com/2007/02/06/simple-captcha-released-the-captcha-for-rails-applications/) You have to develop your own password recovery mechanism.
