Non-standard
This feature is not on a current W3C standards track, but it is supported on the Firefox OS platform. Although implementations may change in the future and it is not supported widely across browsers, it is suitable for use in code dedicated to Firefox OS apps.

The mozbrowserusernameandpasswordrequired event is fired when the content within a browser <iframe> requires an HTTP authentification.

The embedder is supposed to retrieve the necessary credentials, usually using a dialog or a database of username/passwords, and then call authenticate() or cancel() as appropriate.
