This is not really a dhis2 thing so much as a change in browser behaviour. In times gone by when you presented a url like "https://admin:[email protected]/dev/api/me"; the browser would take that url and create the basic authentication header that Jason refers to.
After a couple of wobbles along the way since 2014, this is no longer the default behaviour on any of the major browsers. Its really because URLs find themselves in history, bookmarks, log files etc. which are not appropriate places to be storing credentials. (sections 3.2.1 and 7.5 of https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt) Chrome held out the longest, but is now also compliant with the new behaviour.
