How to handle authentication when using Duo Authentication?

[IonicaBizau]

We use Duo Authentication and disabled it for a specific user, but want to keep it for the other users.

I wasted many hours of debugging finding out why I get success response from WordPress, but the post was not being created.

It was because the JSON.parse in the try-catch with its hidden error. Maybe there should be a warning or something similar if the the response is not JSON-parsable.

I fixed this by using the Application Passwords plugin. That will bypass the Duo Authentication, but the error was hidden in deeply, because of the try-catch + JSON.parse.
