What are ASP.NET membership alternatives

In this video Ayende criticizes the host for using asp.net membership. If asp.net membership is not good to use - what is? In the video Ayende did not mention what else you could use but just pointed out that asp.net membership should not be used. Do you know what other good alternatives are out there for asp.net membership?

Ayende has 'strong' opinions. :-) I'd suggest the suitability of ASP.NET membership really depends on what you're trying to achieve. This question shows some pros and cons and some ideas of working in alternatives. The point is it is very extensible so you can use as much or as little of it as you want.

Personally, I'm having a lot of fun with FluentSecurity just now, although it is targeted at MVC specifically.

EDIT: Another question on this, and another.
