Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

First of all, tx for this great project. I've been a long time happy user!

I just encountered something during my reinstallation of radarr (and prowlarr and sonarr) in a docker container to make the config more secure (only allowing the network traffic to my local network as needed etc..)

I noticed after this reinstall, it is now mandatory to set basic authentication for outside access. For me this is unwanted: I have a reverse which arranges the authentication/authorisation, and on that level i have all kinds of additional measures (logging, blocking of ip adresses when too many attempts, etc..)

I the GUI i cannot change back to "None". Cause that option is greyed out. I did work before my reinstall.

My request is: Can you make it possible again to change back to None? I understand the added security why it is normaly not recommended to do without basic authentication, However there are use cases (like mine, where i manage the security centrally on my managed proxy) where this is unwanted

Describe the solution you'd like

Enable "None" for authentication type

Describe alternatives you've considered

I don't know an alternative

Anything else?

I'm referring to the setting Settings/General/Security
