Research direction

Open composer.json at line 28 and inspect the composer/installers requirement. Update the requirement to include version 2 support, then verify that the dependency constraint allows composer/installers v2 for an Altis project.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

This plugin is pinned to composer/installers 1.7, and this is the only blocker from using composer/installers v2 on an Altis project.

https://github.com/humanmade/PHPBasicAuth/blob/master/composer.json#L28

Can this requirement be updated to include ^2?
