There are some macro templates for login and registration.

Go to Developer => Partial View Macro Files => Create...

Templates for Login, Register Member, and Login Status are in there. Leave the box to create a macro checked. After you save, go up to the macros directory and check the box to allow it to be used in the Rich Text Editor.

Now you should be able to go to your content tree, create a new page, and embed the macro in the content.

@Sam, thanks. That's brill.

Does anyone else know how to do the event hook in?

There doesn't appear to be any events to hook into on member creation. You might simply make your own registration page and controller so that you can add your workflow items in there.

Also, you should be aware that there is a new Membership API in 7.1 if you want/can wait. However, it appears that the membership password/question feature will not be implemented until 7.2.

Here's a link to the Umbraco member authentication-related controllers on GitHub. You can use them as templates and roll your own authentication surface controllers.

Thanks both for the info. I'd love to wait for 7.2 but i have until the end of the month to deliver this project!

@Sam, will check out that link now as it looks like the best way for me.

Here are some additional resources if you are comfortable with MVC. You can create a document type (e.g. MemberRegistration) and hijack the route. On post, verify the model and register the user using the ASPNET membership api.

Thanks Sam for the tip on the Macro. So I've setup a basic login page to authenticate the user. Dumb newbie question, but how do you redirect the user to the requested page? After they login, they just sit on that login page. Thanks

If you use the Public Access option on the node and children you are wishing to secure, it will redirect to the login page and back again once logged in.

It is very easy to setup a surface controller to manage logins and direct the user to wherever you would like. There is a greate write up here:
