There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.


Basic authentication works by sending the username and password with 
each request.  You've changed the password on the server, but the client 
is still sending the old password, which doesn't authenticate them any 
longer.

The user'd have to do it sometime, why not right after their password is 
changed?

BTW, the proper forum for this type of question is the main Zope mailing 
list, <zope@zope.org>.
