I have run into a few, but wanted to know from some of the more experienced developers here if there are any that are known to tbe the best? Would consider commercial products if they exist.
I don't think I would trust a drop in one anyway, too many variables for any particular site.
If you wanted a thread showing the basics we have this
PHP User Authentication and Passwords [webmasterworld.com]
I agree with jatar_k when it comes to security/authentication -- call it paranoia or otherwise but I would rather roll my own code when it comes to these areas. However, I know that PEAR has authentication [pear.php.net] packages and you'll likely find many others out there in the open source repositories. Just make sure you can trust your resource whatever you decide.
