If you haven't quit your browser since you last entered a password, it is still passing it on to your server, therefore the server doesn't need to prompt you for a password. You need to quit your browser before testing to be really sure.It is possible there is really a problem, but restart the browser to be sure.Good luck!Sandy Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
