I use restful_authentication in pretty much all my Rails projects.
These are my opinions, and they are only opinions:

All the stuff that gets applied to the User model by
restful_authentication are perfect legitimate as model logic so it
seems to be in the right place to me.

No, why should there be? The author expects the user of the plugin to
run the generator at the beginning of the project. This is the first
thing I do in all my projects needing authentication. That''s not to
say it wouldn''t fairly trivial to move the code over from a blank
project. There shouldn''t be that much work involved. Plus the
generators allow a --skip-migration option, but you''ll still need a
reasonably compatible User model.

I would not write my own from scratch. I have better things to do with
my valuable time.
