IMO to choose anonymous and proceed. Therefore I didn’t complain :)
OTOH how would you connect in case you want using a name/password if
you’re not asked for?
In Fan's case, he seems to be on Firefox / Windows and without a dialog
option to login in anonymously, so I can understand why it's confusing
for him.
Scott, which OS are you on? (you tested with Chromium and Firefox, and
didn't have a problem).
In summary we seem to have:
Windows? / Firefox (Fan): Only asked for user/password, no
anonymous option
?/Chromium (Scott): Automatically logged in anonymously.
? / Firefox (Scott): Automatically logged in anonymously.
macOS / Chrome (CHR): Automatically logged in anonymously.
macOS / Safari (CHR): Dialog with choice to login as guest.
Assuming Stephan's also
on Mac/Safari.
So at least on macOS it does depend on the browser.

PS
Fan, did it work for you if you gave "anonymous" as the username?
Just to confuse matters, I'm on Windows 7/Firefox, I click on the link
in http://www.lyx.org/Download to the Bundle (261 MB) or Installer (52
MB) and a dialog pops up asking me if I want to save this file. No
question about username or password.
