--- Comment #1 from Ricardo Mones <mones at users.sourceforge.net> ---
This can be partially achieved with the .netrc support included in 3.11.1.
Just add a line:

machine <feedsite> login <yourlogin> password <yourpass>

to your ~/.netrc file¹. If the feed URL is
"http://www.company.com/news/feed.rss" the <feedsite> would be just
"www.company.com".

This only supports one user/password per site, not per feed, as a proper
implementation would require, but can work in some places.
