    1. check the box to enable for wp-admin then save with username and password
    2. to enable the ability to check the box to enable for entire site
    3. but then I get this error: Password cannot be empty
 * It was annoying to have to submit the form twice.
 * The password error was confusing so I did a page refresh and the password field
   was empty. So I tested and the username/password *does* work… so a UI issue I
   guess…
