a) Some browsers can remember the password, so the user only has to
enter it once until it is changed.

b) Maybe you can use the "ntlm" authentication scheme available in the
upcoming Squid-2.5 release. This allows Microsoft browsers on Microsoft
OS:es where the user is logged on to a MS domain to automatically log on
to the proxy using the same account.

No, but you can use a chain of authenticators

First try X, if not found then try Y.
