Username and Password window
My frustration is with the window that pops up when I need to access something that requires a username and/or password. There is grayed out text that appears in each field to tell me what I should be entering there. There are applications such as Linksys routers that don't have a username (instructions are that "username" is left blank), just a password however there does not seem to be a way to leave the username blank--as soon as I move to the password field the damn message reapears. Today I had to make some changes to my router settings and had to use one of our XP boxes to get access, win-7 just refused to get shot of the word "username" in that field. Is there a way to deactivate this feature? Is it necessary to dumb down the process so much in assuming that the user can't figure out what the fields are for from the text to the left of them?
