What is the difference between login controls and Forms authentication?Login controls are part of ASP. Net’s UI controls collection which allows users to enter their username and password to login to a website/application. They provide login solution without the need of writing code. They by default work with ASP.Net membership roles and forms authentication. Forms authentication on the other hand refers to the authentication type being used by an application. ASP.Net supports Forms Authentication, Integrated windows authentication and Custom authentication. One can however, change or configure the login controls to work with the authentication mechanism chosen and not just Forms authentication which is default.
