"ASP.NET Membership builds on the success of the Forms authentication model from ASP.NET 1.x. ASP.NET Forms authentication provides a convenient way to incorporate a login form into your ASP.NET application and validate users against a database or other data store."   The ASP.NET Membership system has been extended to include other credential stores, such as windows authentication and Active Directory.  The membership provider connects to the configuration file element <membership>, a child of <system.web>, to configure the default provider, the list of providers, and the settings that each provider uses.

ASP.NET membership that incorporates authentication, authorization, membership and roles into a series of subsystems and providers that you can use to easily allow for personalization and secure access to your websites. There is an excellent overview of membership in the Learn section discussing migration from classic ASP.
