Have you ever been filling out a web form and had to enter your username and password repeatedly? It’s annoying, isn’t it? Well, there’s a way to automate that process so you only have to do it once.
Web automation is the process of automating the task of filling out web forms. Basic authentication is one type of web automation. With basic authentication, you can enter your username and password once, and the web browser will automatically fill in the fields for you whenever you visit a website that uses basic authentication.
Basic authentication is supported by all major web browsers, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Google Chrome. To use basic authentication, just enter your username and password into the appropriate fields when prompted by the web browser. The web browser will then save your credentials so you don’t have to enter them each time you visit the website.
Sites that use basic authentication include online banking websites, email websites, and some corporate intranets. Basic authentication is generally more secure than other methods of authenticating because it uses encrypted passwords.
If you’re tired of having to enter your username and password every time you visit a website that uses basic authentication, give web automation a try. It’ll save you time and frustration.
