comment Migrating FBA from SP2010 to 2013
Just a comment on using the password format of 'Encrypted' - I generally recommend people use a password format of 'hashed'. The reason being that: encrypted passwords can be decrypted, while hashed passwords cannot (making them more secure). Also, for encrypted passwords, the same key is needed everywhere they are used, making it more troublesome to setup.

comment Failed to Initialize the encryption algorithm
Why not just use Hashed? It's more secure than Encrypted. The only reason I can think of to use encrypted is if you have to retrieve the user's actual password - which IMHO is a bad idea.

comment FBA web app user permissions replicate to full control even after login
For SharePoint 2010 it's not set in the web.config - if you want a custom login page you specify it in Central Admin -> Manage Web Applications -> Authentication Providers. Anonymous custom application pages need to inherit from UnsecuredLayoutsPageBase to have anonymous access.

comment HTTPS Login page not showing browser prompt to remember password
The 'Sign me in automatically' doesn't actually tell the browser to save the password - it tells the browser to keep the authentication cookie after the browser has been closed. By default the cookie is saved only for the session - which is why you're prompted for your username/password if you close/reopen your browser. By checking the box, you should be logged in automatically if you close/reopen your browser. Note that even when sign me in is checked there is an expiry on that cookie and it's short by default. This expiry can be changed via PowerShell though.

comment Creating a custom authentication provider for SharePoint 2010
I didn't run into these strange behaviours. As for deployment, I just deployed the membership provider to the GAC and implemented like you would a sqlmembershipprovider: donalconlon.wordpress.com/2010/02/23/…
