It doesn't make clear the alternative is anonymous login.
It feels like asking the user if the server requires username/password.
But the app should know that ...
The wording "requires" is misleading, because it can be just an option.

And it requires one extra click (the checkmark) for non-anonymous.

The dialog must have 2 textfileds and 2 buttons (Cancel, Login).
And something for anonymous login. Using a button has the advantage 
of direct action / least number of clicks required.
