Neil, try this in Site.AuthEdit:

'''$[Password required]'''
(:messages:)
(:input auth_form:)
$[Name]: (:input text name=author value="{$Author}":)\\
$[Password]: (:input password name=authpw:)
(:input submit value='OK':)
(:input end:)

I just added value="{$Author}" to the name field.
It seems to work on my machine.

In fact it worked before without this mod, but that was because my
firefox browser wa sset to prefill any forms it has encountered
before, so it remembered my author name.


Best,
 Hans
