Fever used an authentication method which would never be employed today. As it requires storing an MD5 hash of the username and password into the database, something which inherently decreases the security of any passwords stored there, a Fever password will have to be created as an explicit step to enabling the protocol for each user.
The Arsse should alternatively support HTTP basic authentication, which is ironically more secure.
