Unfortunaletly 2.1.PATCH2 is broken and this is always read as
acl members proxy_auth REQUIRED. But this is not a problem for most
configurations where only valid users are in the Squid password file.

No. You have to create this yourself, and possibly provide means for the
user to change their password. Squid (or actually the ncsa_auth module)
only reads the provided password file. All password maintenance is
outside of Squid.

To change the informative text telling the user what they login to.
