Tbird doesn't give you any way to configure to do that. I've searched

Tools -> Account Settings -> <newsserver> -> Server Settings
[x] Always request authentication when connecting to this server
Then try refreshing the groups list and should be prompted for a
username and password with options to remember them.

The usernames and passwords are stored in the Password Manager:
Tools -> Options ->Privacy -> Passwords

I'm not that familiar with Thunderbird, but this stumped me for a

Bingo. I just booted one of the machines I have TB on, here, and opened up a new TB account for my registration at motzarella.org. Got the authinfo request just fine. First time, with that unchecked, I got dumped into the anon-available groups. I guess I never even noticed that there were two levels on that server.
