Are you sure that it's from today? The iPlayer website says:
You'll soon need to sign in to watch
which suggest that it's something that's coming soon, rather than applying
with immediate effect.
No mention of it on the iPlayer Radio site at all.
Cheers,
Chris

Subject: BBC has added password controls to iPlayer
The BBC has added password controls to iPlayer, forcing viewers to
register in order to watch its programmes.
From today iPlayer users will need to provide the BBC with their name,
date of birth, email address and home address if they want to use the
service. They will then have to log in when they want to watch
something.
