  • I only use number 2 but of course I’m biased.

    Number one tends to be problematic. First, it can block legitimate users thanks to certain plugins that access wp-admin. Second, assuming you’re only using HTTP BASIC Auth, it really isn’t all that secure as you only have a limited group of users, the credentials may not be encrypted, their is no session so credentials have to be retransmitted on every request, etc.
