I'm not sure if it was the recent Wordpress update, or the recent Passworde-protected update, but with WP version 5.2.3 and password-protected version 2.2.5, it appears REST HTML access is also protected, ignoring the checkbox which disabled this.
A specific request that fails is:
POST
url:
Header: Authorization Basic: .,...
Body (JSON): {"grant_type":"refresh_token","refresh_token":"...."}
This happens for all my sites. IF I disable password-protected on any of my site, that site starts working again. When I re-enable password-protected it fails.
Note: To be clear I have the checkbox Allow REST API Access checked.
