[Webtest] [dev] Best way to set credentials

[Paul King]

I have a slight preference for Marc's suggestion over config.
It seems closer to how a browser works - potentially asking you
for several passwords for different sites (or parts of sites).
Plus if a site is partly protected, a config-based setting
might mask steps which shouldn't be protected but accidentally
have been protected.
