Password protect an arbitrary public facing page without involving the Member module, the template's access or the web server configuration (.htaccess, htpasswd, etc)

For example, specify a single username and password:

{exp:authentic username='hello' password='world' realm='Keep Out!'}

Or, specify multiple usernames and passwords separated by |:

{exp:authentic username='karl|groucho' password='marx|marx' realm='Marx Bros ONLY'}

Obviously, there must be a password for each username, and the usernames and passwords themselves may not contain a |.

Finally, the parameters may be set dynamically, eg, from channel-derived data:

{exp:channel:entries channel='channel'}

    {exp:authentic username='{username}' password='{password}' realm='{title}'}

{/exp:channel:entries}

Nonexistent or invalid credentials result in a standard HTTP 401 Unauthorized error.
