Pop-up box asking for authorization
-
I am concerned about a pop-up box that is appearing on one of my blogs. It says:
‘ A user name and password are being requested by http://67.222.154.138. The site says: “Authorization Required _._” ‘
Closing it makes it disappear, but I have no idea why it is there – or from where it originates.
How can I find out – what do I need to do – I’m guessing someone is phishing for information but it isn’t me.
Can anyone help?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I’m having the exact same problem with the exact same message and domain:
‘ A user name and password are being requested by http://67.222.154.138. The site says: “Authorization Required _._” ‘
I can’t figure it out either and would also appreciate any help with resolving how to get rid of it.

Never mind. I figured it out thanks to this link:

It’s being caused by your Faithful Bloggers widget which I was using also. It’s referencing an invalid image which is at 67.222.154.138.
Delete the widget and the pop up goes away.

Thanks so much for your help. I’ll see to that as soon as I’m home.
Phew! What a relief. I was concerned for readers of the blog.
