I raised the same question earlier. As suggested by PM, when I closed all the browsers and reopened the site, it asked for the passwd.
Just to test, I opened from another two terminals, it was asking for passwd. unless its a Publicly Accessible Computer and we forget to close ''all the browsers'' and we are off the table, then, its a security threat to the content. I am getting used to this philosophy now. (if it helps). thank you, Prasad.
