After setting a name and password the site immediately requests basic auth credentials. I supply them but then I am blocked at /user/login with the message:

Access denied
You are not authorized to access this page.

any chance you have enabled REST-ressources requiring basic_auth? This will conflict with shield.

Indeed, @stmh, in the meantime I've found out that basic_auth (from D8 core) cannot be enabled together with the Shield module.

Here's the relevant Drupal 8 core issue: https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/2842858

We recently merged some code to try to deal with basic_auth in #2815945. As there is already some issues around that issue, I am closing this one as a duplicate for clarity in the issue queue. Please reopen if you think I am wrong.
