I presume that there's no means to provide this type of authentication currently using the web dev module?  
This seems like a little bit of work to set this up from scratch myself 😬

Edit:  
Perhaps I should have installed and used the webdev module before posting... I see now that it _does_ have authentication based on Ignition user sources which you can provide via basic HTML authentication
