    I suspect that you're using Internet Explorer (but can't be sure, because
    you don't tell us).

    For sites in the "Intranet" IE security zone, IE will automatically send
    your username/password if the server requests it. For sites in the
    "Internet" zone (and this includes, by default, all sites that include a .
    in their DNS name), IE will prompt you for your username/password.

    Cheers
    Ken
