    i just went to the GAOTD website to check the latest offer. upon reaching the site i was greeted with a window asking for a username and password for an ip address. is this some security feature new to GAOTD? has anybody else got this?

    although hitting cancel has no ill effects it still is a strange thing to require authentication.
