There is no built in functionality. Just create a regular form with TextBox controls for username/password and add buttons for Login and Cancel.

When the user clicks Login, authenticate the username/password combination (typically with a DB call) and then if that succeeds, show them the main form. If it fails, display an error or close and exit the app (depending on how you want to approach this).

I wrote this article:

They're in C#, but you shouldn't have any problems adapting them to VB.Net.
