What alternative authentication libraries/frameworks exist for ASP.Net

I'm building my own authentication module(to sell, hopefully) and I'm wondering what my competition is. What alternative authentication libraries exist other than Windows/Forms Authentication? I'm looking especially for frameworks that were not produced by Microsoft.

To be specific, I'm talking about authentication methods with .Net libraries that store user credentials(username/password hash) in your own database.

Well, there's openid, oauth, facebook, and whatever else you want to do.

Honestly, it sounds like you're creating a solution in search of a problem. There are already so many different, and free, authentication systems out there. Why would anyone want to pay for yours? What makes your unique? What makes your desirable over anyone elses?

EDIT:

Most people who just need a username/password stored in a database, they find the standard Membership and Role Providers to be more than adequate. They're fairly simple, and work well. That doesn't usually leave much impetus to design something new.

What does your library do that Membership/Role Provider doesn't?
