title: ASP.NET MVC 3 User Authentication
body: <p>What are some of the common methods to do simple user validation (account login)?</p>
  
  <p>Also, can you have different authentication schemes per area?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong></p>
  
  <p>I am creating an eCommerce site that will need to have protected actions per user. So how would one go about doing this? It will need to be able to let only authenticated users access their information.</p>
