I think you can also simplify the JavaScript out of the solution by
encoding the username and password into the name displayed in the
.htaccess pop-up window. This should also make it even easier for the
users to "guess" the password. Maybe something like this .htaccess file
example:

AuthUserFile /home/admin/.htpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Welcome! use username 'foo' and password 'bar' "
<Limit GET>
require valid-user
</Limit>

####

Perhaps it's even possible to for .htaccess to just require a username
without a password?

Still, this solution is not my favorite because it has the potential to
annoy or confuse users who don't understand about e-mail address
harvesting.
