If you have relatively basic authentication needs then Omiauth can do
both username/password and social networking authentication using the
identity provider:

While Devise is a nice comprehensive authentication system. Omniauth
seems to be a lighter weight solution that works in many situations.
It's what I personally use.

Also be careful not to confuse authentication with authorization. These
are not the same thing. For authorization I've used Ryan Bates's
excellent CanCan, which has worked really well for me so far.
