This will not work for all the browsers, I currently have an issue that Safari doesn't accept credentials in URL :(

[@EluviumMC]

Thank you for this video. It was just what I was looking for for one of my projects!

[@pritesh989]

Does authentication pop up handling works with Chrome browser version 85? I think with latest version it doesn’t work

[@saranyav5950]

Would this work for headless mode? what changes would we have to make to achieve headless ?

[@sridharmunendramani677]

Hi, Naveen for safari version 11 and above this approach isn't working. Do you know any alternative? I am currently using safari 13 on my mac, with this approach it still shows basic auth pop up.

[@fatimazaidi6435]

Hi Naveen, I have used the same method. It is working fine for chrome but leaves a blank screen in Firefox. Please suggest any solution.

[@preetam15]

Awesome ! thank you - that helped me. and for the people who dis-liked this video please share if you have a better way to solve this problem. Thank you

[@sirishachoudhury5002]

In windows10 ie11 authentication popup is not working with this solution. Could you please let me know any solution for the same.

[@bharathkashyap4435]

In my current case, this used to work for me for past 1 year. But now IT guys in my company is bifercated some users as admins and some as non admins. Non admins can login with parsing credentials with URL. But admins can't. Do you know what is happening in my case

[@chandrakanthkanamarlapudi8846]

Hi naveen thanks for sharing this video. Here my question is what will happen if password is having @

[@naveenautomationlabs]

It will work

[@ragisudhi]

@ in password may be replaced by %40. @ also works.

[@sinuxavier7350]

You can use alert method alert.sendKeys("username" + Keys.TAB.toString()+"password");

[@pesalasairam231]

I have tried with @ in password , but no luck it is not working

[@shanthikandasamy]

@@naveenautomationlabs Can you explain how it will work if we have @ in uname/pwd please?

[@Shivanibbbbb]

please help , i am trying to get button on form its open separately when i click on add to cart button its not in nor i can get it from alert . i am clicking on product add to cart button .when i click its open separate form which show you add quantity and add to cart button

[@prasannapadmagirwar6233]

That's great!!!.. worked for me.. thanks 👍👍👍

[@l-earningmantra4222]

will this work for python selenium as well? Please help, stuck on this issue whole day

[@anirbandas2062]

Hi, what do we do if the password itself has a '@' symbol ?

[@krupaluke]

HI, you need to translate each non-standard character like this with % and appropriate number. E.g. for & you need to use %26. For @ it is %40. Use www.url-encode-decode.com/

[@mengekyosyaringanKamui]

Just want to share what i did, use 'from urlib.parse import quote' and simply add a word quote infront of the password (or username that has special characters), here is a random example for username = tom, password = gil@432, website = site-test.com : _________________________________________________________________________ from selenium import webdriver from urllib.parse import quote PATH = r"C:\*insert the path leads to your chromedriver.exe and add slash chromedriver.exe*\chromedriver.exe" [eg: PATH = r"C:\Users\Download\chromedriver.exe"] driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH) username = ("tom") password = quote("gill@432") url = "" + username + ":" + password + "@site-test.com" driver.get(url) ________________________________________________________________________ Ok thats the code, what the 'quote' does is simply change @ symbol to %40 you can try it out from urllib.parse import quote password = quote("gill@432") print (password) output : gill%40432 _______________________________________________ The code works for me but not sure for anybody else

[@otarzaridze898]

if username or password is having @ symbol, we should replace it with %40

[@ananthakrishna8234]

Hi Naveen , thanks for sharing this topic, can you please let me know instead of giving username or password how to click button either cancel or signin?

When I am embedding such url and hitting enter its redirecting to google search. Can you help me on this?

[@thefitnakum]

Hi Naveen, latest version of Chrome do not support this. we are automating test cases using Selenium with C# and facing this issue. Solution suggested by you is no longer working for us now. searched online and found that "Drop support for embedded credentials in subresource requests(removed)" this is causing problem. Do you have any other solution or workaround for this? We need to Run test cases using different user so have to enter credentials while starting of the flow. Please help. Thanks!
