Hi Alex I’ve not seen this problem before. It’s probably worth trying different browsers as their handling of basic authentication varies somewhat.
In the latest 5.1.20-prerelease at https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5 <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5> you can add debug-level=full to the command line to get a log of the authenticated username for each request, which may enable you to figure out if the problem is with the server or within the browser.
