Where do you expect the username+password used by %LOGIN to come from then?

And why do you think captive portal would prevent popups? Captive portal
in fact *requires* the user always be faced with a login before any use
is permitted. Their traffic is all restricted/blocked by a DMZ firewall
area until they authenticate by a method provided by the portal.
