Hm. Some servers only challenge when entering certain groups. The
user may wish to stick the machine name and the user name into the
file, but not the password, and it would be annoying if that would
lead Gnus to send the authinfo (and promt the user for that
unnecessary password) even if the user doesn't want to read the
password-protected groups.
