How big a problem is this? When I checked, both Safari and Firefox
showed the prompt. If there are just a few little-used browsers that
fail to show it, I'm not convinced that we have to clutter the pages
for everybody to cater to them. I can think of more than a few other
sites where that prompt is pretty damn essential for usability, so
I would argue that a browser that doesn't show it is broken anyhow.
A bigger issue is that with both Safari and Firefox, the first login
attempt failed and I had to try again. Now maybe I fat-fingered the
password both times, but I suspect there is something wrong there.
