This file should be in mu-plugins and this php in wp-config.php:

if(!defined('WP_CRON_CUSTOM_HTTP_BASIC_USERNAME')) {
    define('WP_CRON_CUSTOM_HTTP_BASIC_USERNAME', 'YOUR_USERNAME_HERE');
}
if(!defined('WP_CRON_CUSTOM_HTTP_BASIC_PASSWORD')) {
    define('WP_CRON_CUSTOM_HTTP_BASIC_PASSWORD', 'YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE');
}
