remotely posting a password

I have a set of galleries that are password protected.
I've been authenticating users on my Web site (not smugmug), then using a form post from my Web site to the password.mg page for my smugmug account, sending over as hidden values the gallery to go to, its album ID and the album password.
This approach has been working without problem for several years. Today, however, one of my users reported getting an error screen saying there is a problem with the password. I verified that the form post is consitstenly generating the issue. Nothing has changed on my end, and I've verified the password being sent over is correct.
Has something changed on the smugmug end that would affect form posting to the password.mg page from outside?

I would like to do something similar, would you be willing to explain how you made it work?
Since I was already grabbing the password page first to get the UserID, it was just a matter of also parsing the results for the formToken variable and passing that to login page too. I also passed ownerNickName along, just to be safe.
