Certain pre-ScratchR2 (before 2012, basically, and everything older that v111 on archive2) Scratch 2.0 pre-alphas support logging in via a system that I have not yet reverse-engineered, although it seems to use the Redmine bugtracker for authentication? Anyways, would y'all be interested if I reverse-engineered that?

That would actually be c00l :P

yes

TIL that there's no authentication other than just a username check. Since this website actually has security (unlike the private server Scratch was using - keep in mind that these Scratch 2.0 betas were publicly available as locked down player-only versions that could easily be unlocked), I guess I'll just make it so the username field also accounts for the password using something like a pipe character ( | ), since usernames cannot contain it.

Edit: There actually is authentication in some kind: it's for accessing certain APIS. Username is "admin", password is "scr4tch".

I can't figure out how to implement authentication, this ain't happening
