It is not meant to. That directive is how often Squid checks the
credentials it has cached for validity. Unless the credentials are
actully invalid when Squid re-checks them you should not see anything.

See if its using SSO with your machines login account, or has the
password stored in the browser password manager.

With either of those the credentials should still show up in access.log,
but "the popup" already happened way back when the user has logged into
their machine or browser.

(Yes, Basic auth contains SSO. All that talk about SSO being a feature
of NTLM is marketing BS.)
