Override .htaccess filesmatch password protection in subdirectory

My goal is similar to the question asked here:

How to remove .htaccess password protection from a subdirectory

a .htaccess file protects all index.html files in subdirectories. I want to exclude a particular subdirectory from this rule.

However, even though I created the .htaccess file in said subdirectiory with the following content:

Require all granted

I am still requested for authentication from a .htaccess file at the higher directory:

DirectoryIndex index.html

<FilesMatch "index.html">
AuthUserFile /etc/users
AuthName "Protected"
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthType Basic
Require valid-user
</FilesMatch>

How can I override this FilesMatch block in a sub directory so the login is not requested? In my apache configuration file:

<Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all denied
</Directory>

<Directory /usr/share>
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
</Directory>

<Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
</Directory>

I do have AllowOverride set properly. What am I doing wrong?

In your subdirectory/.htaccess have these 2 lines to prevent auth:

Satisfy Any
Allow from all
