Authentication, passwords and licensing for Force.com site

So I created a Force.com site for my organization. We have a non-profit edition and do not have a customer portal license. All I want to do is add a simple password protection component to the site so that a single outsider can simply access the data on the page. 

 

Questions:

 

1) Is it possible to add some basic authentication component to a force.com site without utilizing the customer portal?

2) Does doing so violate the user agreement?

If you need to authenticate for anything in a site, you'll need to use a portal. There are customer, partner, and high volume portals available with sites.
