There is no solution. Google cannot click on buttons so won't be able use your login form.

In any case, since the content is only accessible to members you don't want it appearing in the SERPs.

This is not the answer to the question you asked, but it is IMHO the way to do membership sites - allowing google to index content that your users cant see,


Use a script that allows teasers on selected posts and categories in which the read more for the post - requires log in. That way - google indexes the post and title, and first paragraphs - but also allows you to effectively sell the membership to answer the question begged in the teaser. This way you get ranked for the keywords in the titles of posts.

Some cheap wordpress scripts do this.....take wishlist - or digital access pass and others allow some or all categories and posts to be visible invisible or teaser.

For current sites can be done by testing access for google bot ip addresses, and using that to bypassing security all together - but it needs a php geek to do it , a common black hat trick - and in as far as I understand the rules - any attempts to give google different content from users is considered black hat, and gives a chance of getting your site delisted.
