 * _Posting this in case it helps someone else or in case it rings any bells with
   Ian._
 * When running this plugin on the “WP Engine” host, I got an error page after submitting
   the auth digits.
 * The WPE logs were showing “preventing possible attempt to enumerate users”.
    
   So I found where this was coming from: their wpengine-common plugin.
 * To get rid of that check, I added this snippet to my theme’s functions.php:
 *     ```
       add_action( 'init', 'remove_wpengine_crap' );
       function remove_wpengine_crap(){
       	remove_action( 'parse_request', 'wpesec_prevent_user_enumeration');
       }
       ```
   
 * As it turned out, that didn’t work. I had to chat with a (very helpful) WPE technician,
   who further tracked down this issue to a “login protection” feature on their 
   end. Disabling it fixed the issue.
