When it asks for username and password, excel will hold the code
execution. So no use putting code for SendKeys in excel itself.
I made simillar automation program, of checking for new data on a web
site and updating the new data in execl. This program runs 1:00 AM in
the night. What I did is
at 1:00 AM I launch a Winword document (Task Scheduler).
This winword document in it's open even launches the excel workbook
through Shell command, so that the excel application ID is known.
Allowing some time for the username and password dialog box to appear,
winword sends username and password to the excel using AppActivate
first.

Code in Winword is somplething like this:
(In the winword document, there is a single table with single cell, to
store the ApplicationID).

Private Sub Document_Open()
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:02"), "OpMyWeb"
End Sub

Then the procedures are in modules as under:

Sub OpMyWeb()
Dim myIDnum As Long
myIDnum = Shell("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11
\EXCEL.EXE D:\IntraTrack\WebQuery.xls", vbNormalFocus)
ThisDocument.Tables(1).Cell(1, 1).Select
Selection.Text = myIDnum
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:10"), "EnQuer"
End Sub

So allowing 10 seconds, Procedure EnQuer runs, which is only for
clicking on 'Enable Auto Web Query'. (You may not need this, and you can
jump to SendPass.)

Sub EnQuer()
Dim myIDnum As Long
ThisDocument.Tables(1).Cell(1, 1).Select
myIDnum = Left(Selection.Text, Len(Selection.Text) - 2)
AppActivate myIDnum
SendKeys "{TAB}", True
SendKeys "{ENTER}", True
ThisDocument.Activate
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:30"), "SendPass"
End Sub

So allowing 30 seconds for username & pwd box to appear, I run SendPass
procedure, which sends the user name and passowrd, and then winword
document is closed.

Sub SendPass()
Dim myIDnum As Long
ThisDocument.Tables(1).Cell(1, 1).Select
myIDnum = Left(Selection.Text, Len(Selection.Text) - 2)
AppActivate myIDnum
SendKeys "username", True
SendKeys "{TAB}", True
SendKeys "password", True
SendKeys "{ENTER}", True
ThisDocument.Activate
ThisDocument.Saved = True
If Application.Windows.Count = 1 Then Application.Quit
ThisDocument.Close
End Sub
