“Basic auth” is no longer working.
Setting Basic Password Protection using a password successfully locks down the site; however you cannot access the site when entering the same password.
It would be good if Netlify could do some basic regression testing before pushing new things live.
To assist, we were attempting to add basic password protection on Site ID: 27281095-a0c6-48a7-a965-ce39694af2ae; the site would then be “protected”, however using the password would not allow access. Upon navigating back to the Visitor Access controls, typically the password can be revealed in Netlify; however the password was not present.
