    Goto Admin Control Panel
    -> Setup and Configuration
    -> Advanced
    -> Display User/Pass in the URL
    -> Set to Yes.

    This should solve your problem, but displays a unencrypted user and pass.
    You have to decide what is better for you.

    Cheers,

    htpasswd_secure

    I am trying to use this according to the help file. However there is no choice for htpassword_secure. What am I missing?

    Setting Up Protection
    Step 1: Enable htpasswd plugin.
    Open the aMember Admin Control Panel

    Click on Setup/Configuration from the left menu

    The Configuration : Global screen opens

    From the top menu on this page click Plugins

    The Configuration : Plugins screen opens

    Select Protection Plugins

    A list of the options available for protection appears, select htpasswd_secure (hold Ctrl key pressed on keyboard)

    Click on Save button

    Click on Rebuild Db in main menu (left frame).

    htpasswd_secure is not useful after latest IE changes, so it has been removed.

    The solution is to use
    mod_rewrite+php_include
    and other php_include protection options.

    After latest IE6 fix by Microsoft, it is impossible to avoid popup login box with htpasswd.

    prevent direct access using this method?

    OK I followed all this (amazingly, two days ago it seemed like a foreign language) and using the other options as suggested works fine except:

    If I enter the protected url directly into the browser I get straight in to the content. So I seem to be stuck with either a double log in or leaky preotection, neither of which is helping much.

    Ooops - worked out what was wrong there - I had checked 'remember my login' so it kept letting me in. Once I put a 'logout' link on the page and tried to enter directly, I got the login page.

    I only wish I were as clever as this program! :(
