HELP !
I just updated to the latest WP version, updated all plugins as well and to this message for my blog at http://www.balboaexplorer.com/blog
"The server http://www.balboaexplorer.com at WP-Files requires a
username and password.
Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection)."
I - any visitor - have to cancel several times before I can get into the site but no images included in posts are shown.
The weird thing is: there is no WP-Files directory. I didn't touch any settings.
The initial problem I had was that I could not add any image to a post; clicking on the 'add image' would not have any window pop up'. That's why I tried an upgrade first. Now it's even worse.

I'm having this same problem ... the issue only after I added an ill-fated plugin called user photo ... now every time I try to access my user page it has me log in - authentication required for "WP-Files" a page that doesn't exist!
Even after deleting the plugin the glitch remains .. and is driving me insane. Any help I will be extremely grateful!

Hi!
Check for two files inside wp-content/uploads, called:
.htpasswd
.htaccess
To solve the problem, delete or edit them. In my installation, these files were created by a plugin.

Hi!
I was facing the same problem, I renamed (& then later deleted) these
.htpasswd & .htaccess inside wp-content/uploads as said by heliocorreia and it worked for me!
thanks heliocorreia.
