   Luckily, I have not had that, but what really annoys me is that you   
   can be doing something like entering a remembered password, and the   
   pop-up box comes up mid-entry and just stops your memorised password   
   dead. You have to then: a. Check to see what the damn box is   
   telling you; b. delete said box; c. Clear the partially entered   
   password and enter it from scratch.   
   Grrrr.
