I can't find a option window for that in the newsreader.
A friend told me that in url string you need to put a code for login and password and then next the url of the feed. But he doesn't know anymore the exact way to do this.

Can anybody help?
Haven't tried this myself, but authentication in the URL is of the form:

http://username<colon>password@www.Basecamphq.com/

Obviously replacing the username and password with your login credentials and a colon character for <colon>

Be aware that it is relatively unsecure to use this authentication method, but if you aren't too worried about it, go ahead and try it.
