you've got a point there... so I can accept that 99% of users will be
confronted with a username prompt that makes no sense for them (since
all they received and need is the password) so that the 1% of users with
editing rights have a place to enter their username. Maybe I will find a
way to modify the password-prompting page so that the username box is
hidden in the beginning, or something like that.

But there's another question: Until now, I had my users configured in
groups, i.e. there is a group "@editors" and a group "@readers", and
only "@readers" may view my pages.

Now, if I want Alice, Bob, and anyone who knows the password "foo" to
read my pages, what do I put into Site/AuthUser?

@readers: Alice, Bob, password:foo
or is there something like that?

Or am I forced to modify all relevant page attributes to "@readers,
foo"? (I'd really like to avoid that...)

Thanks!

Mike
