Fix basic auth popup happening during login process

🐛 Bug Report

Sometimes a basic auth popup happens during the login process

To Reproduce

Not clear what steps are to reproduce this issue.

Expected behavior

The system should use our login page rather than the ugly dialog popup to start the authentication process.

Technical Notes

• https://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/intro/security.html
• Library we use for pouchdb authentication: https://github.com/pouchdb-community/pouchdb-authentication

I think that it is likely related to the skip_setup flags not being configured properly.

@jackcmeyer you can put this on my name, i'll see if i can reproduce and then fix it. I know at some point i had it on my local dev environment but can't recall when it stopped.
