I'm trying to develop a model of what makes a "good" user authentication system. Obviously, the foundation of any good system is successfully identifying users, but what differentiates one system from another?

There is a rating system in the site that would help you to find the most appreciated, but since it was introduced only in the beginning of the month, there are not yet enough ratings for any to give you accurate values. What you may want to do is to go in the pages of each of the classes that from the descriptions seem to do what you want.
