More secure login authentication, by Charlie Carlson, in the examples repo.
I haven't run it myself, but Charlie and I talked about security issues, and the security design is a significant improvement over simple plaintext passwords stored in database.
It would be an extra feature to use improved security in a login page. (Plaintext passwords in database would be okay for this special term.)
