[Pmwiki-users] Password Problems

[Patrick R. Michaud]

Keep in mind that most browsers cache passwords (and the
sessionauth.php script explicitly does so), so once you've entered a
password correctly during a browser session you won't be prompted
again for the password until the browser is closed or a different
password is required.
