Is this something I can force using TS? I really can't ask my editors to
remember and login using two different usernames/passwords. Even if they
were the same, and additional login page is going to get in the way of the
workflow.

why simulating?
just do it. Log in as the desired user.
I do it this way. for example on Sites which are hidden by a
login-gateway-page until launch.
on the first call to a page (from BE or direct) you are redirected to the
login page. The cookie is changed to a logged-in user. The next pagecall
(from BE) you get the requested page (a logged-in user is remembered).

you just have to look for username and password from the fe_users-table or
create your own testuser with appropiate usergroups.
