Support servers with plain http authentication about photoprism-mobile HOT 8 CLOSED

Yes, that's something we want to do, but the unsupported authentication in the README was related to PhotoPrism's own internal password protection.

In order to implement plain http auth in the mobile app, following steps need to be done:

• Move all remaining http calls to api.dart
• Write api wrapper which supports basic http auth: https://pub.dev/packages/http_auth
• Add GUI in order to activate basic auth and insert username and password
• Save user credentials in secure place, e.g. https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_secure_storage
• Search for uploader package which supports authentication

You implemented authentication on the server, right? I have described the necessary steps that we have to program in the mobile app to implement basic auth.

I agree that the app should support this and will have a look at it later today
