Cannot login to WordPress site after server authentication request
-
Hi,
I sent this in as a bug request but am wondering whether anyone has encountered this before.
From a new browser session with expired .htaccess cookie, answer .htaccess authentication request succesfully, then WordPress login page comes up. Nothing clicked in the login dialogue, such as the login button and LastPass icons for fill-in, works although fields can be filled out.
If tab is closed and same URL is used, no .htaccess authentication is requested and able to click on WordPress login. This does not happen in Chrome or Firefox.
The authentication page looks like this:
The WordPress login page looks, of course, like this. Red circles indicate all the button and links that do not work.
Any suggestions or assistance much appreciated.

@mbdiener I just tested on a Wordpress site and password-protected it with .htaccess, then tried to login to WP. I had no problems with the login.
Have you tried to disable your Lastpass extension to see if that fixes it?
-
Hi. Yes, I did try disabling LastPass and still had the same results. Again, this only occurs on Vivaldi after I use .htaccess authentication. I realize that you tested the same way so there must be some other interaction happening in my set up. I will test further by disabling all my extensions and work from there. Thanks!

@mbdiener Good, keep digging. What I find strange, it's just a HTML form, there should be no reason to not be able to select the login or "remember me".
I'd be happy to test if you could provide me a (temporary) user to try with, and maybe create a limited user on the WP to test the login itself. You can send me the detail using the chat function if you want.

@Gwen-Dragon Thanks for the suggestion. I opened the browser with a guest profile and it worked in that I didn't see the same behavior. I then went to my profile, disabled all of the extensions, disabled a custom css file and it still did not work. Very odd. Any other testing suggestions?

@Pathduck I will send you details via chat. Thanks!
