Comment (by TimothyBlynJacobs):

 > Also, if the site itself is accessed via basic auth, maybe we could
 detect that and set an option disabling application passwords in the first
 place?

 Ooh nice. I like how deviously simple this would be. Where would we put
 that logic? Perhaps detect that on `wp_loaded()`? We'd need to regularly
 invalidate it and make sure that they weren't passing it to a REST API
 route.
