   Hi, I've had the same problem.
   You don't need this plugin anymore : https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/using-the-rest-api/authentication/#basic-authentication-with-application-passwords

   I simply removed the plugin and it worked again. Hope it helps.

   I had the same issue and deactivating the Basic Auth plugin solved the issue for me too.

   To fix it, add this after line 37:

   		// try authenticating via application password
   		if ( \is_wp_error( $user ) ) {
   			$user = \wp_authenticate_application_password( null, $username, $password );
   		}
