2.4.2

Description

as you know in worpress, users have to ability to create an "application password", if you set basic auth in the security cloudpanel page then you cannot set an application password anymore and in the user page you get this message "Your website appears to use Basic Authentication, which is not currently compatible with Application Passwords."
Now when you go back in the security cloudpanel page and you disable the basic auth, this message on WP doesnt go away and the webiste lose the possibility to set an application password, it seems as something it is not updated back in WP database

How to reproduce

set a fresh wordpress website, go to you profile user page and see at the bottom that you can set an application password.
go to cloudpanel security page and set basic auth, go back to your user page and see that you cannt srt an application pwd anymore.
Now go back to security page and disable the basi autu, go in WP to your user page and you still get the message that the website is under basic aut an cannot set an application pwd
