Use a framework that handles user accounts/passwords for you. Twitter, Facebook and other social auth frameworks can be plugged in easily via 3rd party modules.
I use and recommend Django, for example. I would imagine Ruby/Rails would have similar capabilities.

Django is also about to release a major update in the first half of March (v1.2). Some GREAT improvements.
I'm currently heavily entrenched in Sinatra. I'm surprised to learn that Django and Rails do user accounts for you. Crazy.
Sinatra has a few 3rd party libraries that do it for you. I'm using sinatra-authentication, which works great.
