    Hello finomeno

    That corresponds with my settings.
    The two websites which are (were, thanks to you) affected were without favicon, the other (not affeted) two have one.
    I put a favicon into the root folder of one of the sites and activated my .htaccess again and I got no more admin login.
    And it works as you described with the website icon (w/o favicon in the root folder) as well.

    Thanks a lot
    Jürgen

    Hallo Rolf

    Sorry for my late reply (I kinda didn’t find the time which seems weird being mostly at home all the time ;-))

    I disabled (renamed, I will propably delete it later) the htaccess in the wp-admin folder. That did the trick. I sort of wanted to have one more login before the real login to prevent hacking, I guess. I do have good (128bits) passwords though.
    2 other website I maintain are using some different plugins and there the htaccess will stay for the time being.

    And I will try the ‘rename wp login’-plugin (who can pick a lock not knowing where the dopr is, eh?).

    Thank you for your help and stay healthy

    Best regards
    Jürgen

    The topic is reesolved for me.

    Hello

    Same here (had the .htpasswd longer in fact).
    Since updating to 5.4 the Firefox 75.0 ‘wants’ to .htpasswd login of the wp-admin folder when showing the website, and only the FF; not the IE nor Edge nor Vivaldi nor Chrome nor mobile phone

    I’d like to keep my htpasswd and I don’t want to install yet another plugin.
    I already added the ajax ‘alow’ to the .htaccess, so the file looks like

    AuthType Basic
    AuthName “XX”
    AuthUserFile /XXXXXXX/…/.htpasswd
    Require valid-user
    <Files admin-ajax.php>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Satisfy any
    </Files>

    Still the wp-admin login shows up while opening the website.

    Do I really have to do without this extra protection?

    Best regards
    Jürgen
