Hi guys,  
I am looking for a powerful login generator. I used goldberg  
plugin for my website. it is generally OK. but it’s a little simple.  
Anyone got better ones?

Thank you guys for your useful advice.I will take time to study  
restful authentication.

if you think goldberg is simple you may be unhappy w/  
restful\_authentication. goldberg does a LOT for you, possibly too  
much. I used goldberg and am now giving restful a try and having a  
heck of a time. seems like there’s a lot of stuff I have to do and  
the instructions are scattered all over.

OTOH, goldberg development seems on a hiatus and no one is answering  
in the forum, so I’m worried.

If you just want somethng to work quickly now, goldberg may be the way  
to go. If you want something to learn and build on, try  
restful\_authentication.
