A username and password are being requested by xxx  The site says: "Contact Your Hosting Company for Username and Password"

Many of the wordpress authors have found the above popup in their wordpress sites.

This is actually a security threat. Follow the instructions to get rid of these messages.

1. Contact your hosting company and speak to them. You will be provided with a username and password (Different from your login username and password). Keep in mind everytime when you are logging in you have to provide theses details.

2. The other way is to permanently delete the message. In your wordpress installed directory locate the file '.htaccess' and if you find any lines similar to this,

AuthUserFile /folder/.htpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthName "PrivateWebsite"
Require valid-user 

Just remove the lines. That's it! 

You will no longer have the login username and password messages.
