I have a requirement to always prompting of log in information for users in SharePoint site rather than taking their logged in credentials.
Any idea??
Depending on the setup you have.
You could just remove the SharePoint site from the trusted sites or local intranet under IE's security tab using a group policy.
This will cause a prompt every time they go to the site.
you need to reverse the steps found here

I would like to enable viewing a website that I created to one person, whose IP I do not know. Is there a way to hide the website under a simple password (without publishing the page and logging by Facebook etc.)?
Thank you!
If the person can have an account in an active directory you trust, you can add them pretty easily.

Only users that have access to the AAD (including guests) can see the site afterwards.
I have somewhat of an odd question (for me, at least).
We have some private information a department would like to place on our SharePoint farm. The problem is, this is very sensitive information, and law demands that we have a 'two-stage' login process to secure the data.
Currently, it is housed using a system that:
A) you have to login to our network (windows logon screen)
B) you have to login to the application.
Our SharePoint farm has integrated authentication enabled. Meaning, once you login to your computer in the morning, you never have to login to sharepoint as it already knows your credentials.
This is a problem for us. Can we enable some sort of custom Sharepoint login?
Will this require a new web app for the site? A new site collection only perhaps?
Thanks,

What you are looking for is called forms based authentication. Sharepoint 2010 uses claims based authentication and one of the providers you can configure is forms based. Meaning they provide a user name and password.
Here is a tutorial with the steps to do, it is a relatively straight forward process. just follow all the steps.

If you move you site out of Intranet zone, then IE will automatically ask for credential everytime.

We are facing Login problems while Logging to our site. We (the Developement Team) can log in to the site with only one prompt but many users are getting login prompts several times. After pressing ESC for 5-6 times they can login to site. Is there any AD setting that needs to be changed?
If so not even the Site Admin (Full Permission) can log in without prompts.
I have already added the site in trusted sites in Internet Explorer.
Is this a publishing site? If so, have you ensured that all of your content is published? If anything is still in draft and has never been published then they will receive authentication prompts as ordinary users can't see draft content. Make sure you check CSS files and other assets such as images.
Add your site to the Trusted Sites in Internet Explorer
I suggest you check out this link here and check your settings compared to these. I have set up several MOSS 2007 servers following this guide with no problems at all...except for small mistakes on my part :P
After I log into my sharepoint website, I have to login everytime I access a document from the library. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks
User Level:
If your SharePoint site always prompts for username/password on accessing it you can set your browser to not prompt
In Internet Explorer, go to Tools
Click Internet Options
add your site URL to Internet Explorers "Local Intranet Sites" section.
Open Security tab
Click Custom Level button
Scroll down to this screen and select "Automatic logon with current username and password" radio button
Click OK.
Administrator Level:
you can add your site's internal zone URL in Alternate Access Mappings section on Central Administration>Operations site, The SharePoint server always does not prompt for username/password and you can enjoy.
When using Windows Vista or Windows 7 the office tools (e.g. Word) do not look at the Local Intranet list of Internet Explorer. But they look at the following registry location:
HKEY__LOCAL__MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters\AuthForwardServerList
If your sharepoint site is located at share.myserver.com you can set the above registry entry to *.myserver.com (including the *) so that all addresses ending with myserver.com are trusted by the office applications. This will prevent the login popup box from appearing.
For more info see this microsoft article. It solved the problem for me.
Add the SharePoint site to your trusted sites or local intranet in Internet Options.
This is to do with the way Word does the request for a file It sends an anonymous request first. What solves this is setting the session cookie to be valid for a year.
Are you using AD for the Authentication ?
Are you browsing the site from same network where it is hosted or on a Different N/W ?
If in the Same new work "Add the SharePoint site to your trusted sites or local intranet in Internet Options" and in the Trusted Sites Security Custom Level , User Authentication Section select the Option Automatically Login with the Current User Name and Password.
If you are browsing from Different n/w its bit tough to get it .
I experience this every day. My local machine is on a different domain to the SharePoint server so I have to log in every time I access SharePoint with a different application. This includes IE, Word, InfoPath, etc...
There is no way I've found to avoid it as it's simply part of using Windows authentication. Saving your password can help but still shows a dialog.
There are quite a few things that could cause this and you don't give much detail on your setup in the Q to give you an answer but...
The most comprehensive article I've found for troubleshooting this is
Unwanted Authentication Prompts
This issue is familiar to me and I've previously used the upvoted solution to the problem. However, recently I discovered that using Google Chrome rather than Internet Explorer makes this problem go away!
Solution: Use Chrome.
Switching to Basic Authentication will resolve this issue at a cost of passing credentials in clear text.
I've set up FBA on an extended site, added a user, verified the central admin can read the users (people picker works fine).
The problem is no matter what I try I never get asked for credentials, just get a "You are not authorized to view this page". I have a feeling its something in IIS but I've added all anonymous accounts I can think of.
If I switch the authentication type back to windows it works fine.
I've read countless how-to's and I don't think I am missing a step, they all just end with "you should now see the login page" which I am denied from.
Any tips?
I downloaded http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e90fe777-4a21-4066-bd22-b931f7572e9a&DisplayLang=en and ran it on my site, determined that someone (##$##$) changed the IUSR password and never logged it or updated it either way it's working now and I'd recommend this tool as it solved my issue in two seconds flat!
IF this is in IE, check your setting for User Authentication (all the way at the bottom) for the current zone in Internet Options. That happens when the setting is Automatically Logon with Current User ID and Password, rather than Prompt for User Name and Password.
Creating the user in the FBA store is one thing, and giving that user access in SharePoint is another. Did you make the user a site owner for the site you are trying to access?
