Actually; *no* authentication scheme needs the user to enter username
and password manually. The browsers auth popup happens only when it
cannot find working credentials via any other way. It is entirely
possible to setup any of the HTTP authentication schemes so no popup
happens (just varying degrees of difficulty).
 Kerberos is nothing special in that regard.
