BBC website

I've just been asked for Authentication details when opening www.bbc.co.uk by entering User Name and Password, looks as though it might be a scam. Just selected cancel and it went away.

Never been asked for it before and don't remember having to register in the 1st place.

are you at home, or on a work computer? if your on a work computer they may be having problems with authentication somewhere, or if they are using a proxy server?
