Passwords and Internet Explorer
Some members have experinced problems using the password system with
certain configurations of Internet Explorer, in particular versions
that come from certain providers. Prodigy is one provider that sends
out their own version of IE with default settings that cause a problem.
The problem shows up as a quick pass-through to the page that says 'you are attempting to enter a Member's area' without any opportunity to enter an
account or password. This is because your Internet Explorer is configured
not to do any form of authentication, or at least not the form that allows
user input.
CFO member Ed Vitek worked through the issues and reports this sequence
as the solution to the problem on his system:

Here's the path I took.
Open Control Panel
click Internet Operations Icon
click Internet Properties
click Security
click Custom Level.....
Go to User Authentication (at the bottom of the list)
Logon
( ) Anonymous Logon
( ) Autologon only in Intranet Zone
( ) Autologon with current Username & Password
( ) Prompt for Username and Password
In my case, the 1st box was selected. I changed the selection to "Prompt for
Username and Password and the problem was corrected. : )

Thanks for your help, Ed. Webmaster
