Check out Authlogic. It's incredibly flexible and simple to get started.

Ruby Toolbox provides a nice list of Rails Authentication plugins.

I used restful_authentication in the past but I switched to authlogic 1 year ago. Authlogic is an excellent and high customizable plugin, there are also additional third party plugins to support OpenID and Facebook logins.

I heard good words about Clearance but I never used it.
