Unless one is using user-based authorization, there's no concept
of "being logged in" -- there's only the set of passwords that
have been entered thus far.  I suppose one could say that if
any password has been entered then the author has "logged in",
but it still doesn't help them to understand why they aren't
being prompted for a password when they set one on a page.
