Why do you want to create own seprate plugin ? Is there any specific reason ?
If you want to make little bit logic and GUI changes then you can extend existing portlet itself.
So what kind of modification you wan to do here ? please put details which might help to get more elaboration.

As suggested by jignesh .. if there is any GUI changes or same extension to existing login portlet then you can achieve this by creating hook or ext.
It wont be that easy to replicate login portlet because login portlet uses some classes of portal-impl (e.g LoginUtil) that you can can nt access from your portlet plugin.

Are you creating the users in the Liferay _user table or you are maintaining them in a different Db ?

I had a similar scenario. I created a login hook for overriding the login.jsp of the Liferay login portlet. I changed the look and feel of it and included the original login.jsp by doing this -

1<liferay-util:buffer var="html">
2 <liferay-util:include page="/html/portlet/login/login.portal.jsp" />
3</liferay-util:buffer>
4 <%=html %>

Note : the name of the login.jsp changes to login.portal.jsp if overriding it,

This way I got Liferay authentication mechanism to work on my custom login page. Hope, this helps you .

-cheers

For that you'll have to look into setting Friendly URL topic.
