Bug Description
When using an RSS feed from a site which requires username and password, it asks
for the password on each update, whether I check "remember password" or not.

Some feeds (such as the Google mail Atom feed) require the user to be authenticated. Allowing a username and password to be specified for a feed would allow Akregator to load feeds like this.
In order to keep things secure, it might be a good idea to attempt to load these feeds via HTTPS, falling back to HTTP if this is not available.
