A small detail, but it's "TYPO3" and not "typo", "typo3", "typo 3", 
"Typo3", etc.

It's a system extension, so it comes with the package. You don't need 
update it. If there are bugs found in system extensions they are fixed 
in all TYPO3 versions where the bug is present.

Installing system extensions from other versions than the branch (4.2.x 
, 4.3.x, 4.4.x) you're working with may cause the extension or the 
entire installation to become non-functional, cause erratic behaviour, etc.
Felogin for example is different for 4.2 than for 4.3 because 4.3 has 
functionality in the core which is not present in 4.2. If you use the 
4.3 version on a 4.2 installation it will (depending on the 
functionality you use) throw PHP errors about undefined functions.

In the manual there is an explanation on how to use it from Typoscript. 
In the Typoscript part where you fill the markers (the ###....### 
places) you can use the Typoscript call (plugin.tx_felogin_pi1 if I 
remember correctly) to put the loginbox at that marker.
The exact piece of Typoscript depends on how you've setup the handling 
of the HTML template.
