The HOSTS file has nothing to do with how you authenticate to any given web site. It only determines if your browser will navigate to the site. What you will most likely see are messages stating that the page cannot be displayed. These messages will appear wherever the HOSTS file has blocked access to the particular site. Some people do not like to see these messages. They don't bother me, since I know that I would otherwise have all types of advertising being displayed, usually with some type of JavaScript that would mess with Jaws.
