Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 I was able to test this in my local setup and verify both the issue and
 that the proposed fix in the PR works as expected:

 * After setting up local auth and submitting a form (using CF7 as
 described in the issue) as a non-logged in user, I received an
 authentication error from the rest API. Status `401` message: "Unknown
 username. Check again or try your email address."
 * Testing the PR the form submission/endpoint works as expected.
 * Trying to set up Application Password when my site is behind basic auth,
 I discover I cannot:
