Honestly, I haven't had time to think about it. I just logged in to check.
We had a bad storm here a few days ago, and 2 tornadoes ripped through here about 20 minutes after I posted my last post above. I've finally gotten power restored to the house, but I still have a lot of work to do the next few days clearing trees and tending to repairs.
Since the problem seems to be only within seoTools and only when you use the Basic Auth in an .htaccess file, then I would recommend you search out a seoTools expert for this one. You probably could have written a basic authorization routine during the past few days that you've been troubleshooting this, and it still may be your best option.
I may not be available much at all this week. I'll be working outside on repairs and getting the road to my lake cleared of trees.
