Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

Current Behavior

Basic auth doesn't exist

Expected Behavior

basic auth to exist

Steps To Reproduce

update to 2.x

Environment

- OS: 
- Prowlarr:
- Docker Install:
- Using Reverse Proxy: authentik
- Browser:

What branch are you running?

Master

Trace Logs?

I use authentik to actually protect prowlarr and such. To prevent double login, it needs to use basic auth or no auth (which isn't really an option).

so to make things easier for you, you've made things more insecure for me. Thanks.
