Basic auth is going away in chrome. What now? (alien.top)

Hi all,

I have been seeing in several companies that i support that the basic auth method is being disabled on the company browsers. As such, i am now unable to get access to my sites that are behind basic auth from that location - ie, the auth dialog window does not show and goes immediately into a 401 not authorized.

I don't want to go the app-auth way (because i would have to rely on the security of the app itself, and thus more work to maintain my stuff), and would prefer something like mod_auth_form all packaged up in a reverse proxy docker container so it would be easier to plan a deployment.

Does anyone know of such a container that does reverse proxy, and form authentication? Remember, basic auth is a no-no.

Thanks!

Basic auth over https is encrypted.
