Is there a way to detect through which auth container a user is authenticated? I would need to know this for both currently authenticated users and non-authenticated users.

$LU->getProperty('containerName'); for non authenticated users you would need to use LiveUser_Admin

Lastly, I would like to be able to check/verify a user's password without logging him in, is that possible too?

You would also have to use LiveUser_Admin. In order to encrypt the password to place it in the filter you would use LUA->auth->encryptPW($plainPW); regards, Lukas
