Asking Apache is going to be the next step for sure. 
I need to know what software doesn't work with Apache's .htaccess password control as that is why the problem came up to start with.   

A couple of sites that we ran for this one client would not work for them becuase their systems blocked any sites we made that used .htaccess to ask for  a password.-questorfla (July 16, 2020, 10:26 PM)

You don't use .htaccess for login/password control, you use it to filter out domains that shouldn't have access to the site.

Domains filtered get redirected to an error 403 document.
