I've done cgi programming for a lot of years and occasionally messed with our apache config and I've never heard the term 'realm' before . i see that it is part of the htaccess auth config on the server but that doesn't help if i don't have access to the server.

I've read through the various threads about it and i've ended up more confused than i started. this: 

    <form method="post" action="https://panel.dreamhost.com/index.cgi"
+ class="login-form form-default js-login-form">
        <fieldset class="login-standard js-login-standard">
            <div class="form-row floating-label">
                <input type="text" name="username" id="username" place
+holder="Email" class="js-login-username" required autofocus />
                <label for="email">Email</label>
            </div>
            <div class="form-row floating-label">
                <input type="password" name="password" id="password" a
+utocomplete="off" placeholder="Password" required />
                <label for="password">Password</label>
            </div>
