What did you do?

Open DigestAuth documentation (v3.5).

What did you see instead?

I see the wrong info about password format:

Passwords format

Passwords must be hashed using MD5, SHA1, or BCrypt. Use htpasswd to generate the passwords.

What version of Traefik are you using?

v3.5/v3.6

What is your environment & configuration?

not related to environment & configuration.

If applicable, please paste the log output in DEBUG level

Before v3.5, DigestAuth's documentation suggests:

Use htdigest to generate passwords.

Since v3.5, it becomes:

Passwords must be hashed using MD5, SHA1, or BCrypt. Use htpasswd to generate the passwords.

I know that passwords generated by htpasswd are used by the BasicAuth middleware, as the documentation states. From v3.5, the Passwords format descriptions of DigestAuth and BasicAuth are the same.

I guess there is some mistake in the documentation sources at
