Basic auth for Alloy UI

[orlovds]

Request

Good afternoon
Now I can restrict access to the UI only by ip (https://grafana.com/docs/alloy/latest/configure/linux/#expose-the-ui-to-other-machines).
Please consider adding a standard basic authentication for UI.

Use case

The ability to specify a username/password for UI authentication in the settings also using vault.
Thank you in advance.

Internally we have Security considerations, too.

1. No Basic authentication for the alloy ui and reload Points
2. Remote_write or loki.write do Not offer a possibility to encrypt passwords. Passwords from environment variables or Files can be accessed by other Users.

I would Like to See a possibility to generate a Password, encrypt it and this encryption key can only be used internally by a Grafana alloy component to decrypt and use it.
