Basic Authentication is a Chrome extension developed by Adam Wojtowicz. It falls under the category of Browsers and belongs to the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. This free extension simplifies the process of basic authentication for staging environments.

With Basic Authentication, you can automate the logging process with just a few easy steps. By storing your credentials locally on your machine, you no longer have to worry about the Basic Auth prompt window. This extension does not collect, store, or process any of your private information, ensuring your data remains secure.

If you don't require specific domain settings, you can simply input your credentials at the beginning of your work and forget about the Basic Auth prompt window altogether. For more advanced settings, the extension also offers an "Advanced settings" option where you can provide additional credentials for specific domains.

The latest update for Basic Authentication includes the implementation of Manifest 3 and the removal of proxy support. Additionally, code refactoring has been done to enhance the extension's performance.

To further improve your experience, the developer encourages users to report any bugs or issues they encounter while using the extension. Please note that this extension is used at your own risk.
