If you can ask your uplink to turn off pkt passwords that would solve your
problem.

I must admit I have never bothering using it as session, filemgr, areafix
passwords covers my security requirements along with some additional stuff to
restrict secure up/down links - although these days with access via a ISP it 
is
even more pointless for the additional security :)
