Is there any WWW-Authenticate header that will prompt user for only password?

I'm developing a scheme where a password alone (not username) grants access to documents. WWW-Authenticate: Basic will prompt user for both username and password. Is there any way to direct standard browsers to just display the password field?

No, you can't have only a password field. However, you can allow an empty username (or any random username), and use your REALM text to inform your users.
