Password-protected feeds in Google Reader

Well, maybe I was living under a rock, but it took Steve Rubel's recent post on turning Gmail into a social network hub to find out how to work password-protected feeds in Google Reader. I tried to put my Twitter/replies feed into Feedburner and voila, the system told me how to work a protected feed.

Perfect. I had a couple of feeds that I wasn't able to import. Now, the only question is this: Do I want to give Feedburner/Google access to my passwords...
