Authetication system for 1 user - asp.net

I have only one user for my asp.net application and I have to create the authentication system for the website. What could be the best, secure and easiest way I can do that?

What I believe that createing a table in a database for a single user is not at all a good choice. At the same time, security is the major need for the authentication.

You can store the username and (hashed) password in the web.config.

Since you don't have to worry about user maintenance, just add the user to the local system and establish integrated windows authentication. This keeps the password secure, the login is done through NTLM, and you can use the built-in Identity class to keep track of the logged in user.
