It  reminds me "Client Side Trojans" thread. Also similar problem with
authorization  have  been  described  at  tools-on.net  ("Web and your
privacy"  section). The problem is that once authorised you don't have
to  enter  password  again  if  you are redirected to some form inside
protected (via .htaccess, cookie, etc) area.

Best regards, Alexander
