Comment (by TimothyBlynJacobs):

 After discussion in #core-passwords we decided on a different solution.

 We now won't return any errors from `wp_authenticate_application_password`
 if there are no App Passwords created. Additionally, we prevent creating
 new App Passwords if it looks like the site is already behind Basic
 Authentication.
