How to Handle "Authentication Required" Pop-up in selenium

Question

Is it possible to handle "Authentication Required" Pop-up in selenium which having fields as "UserName" and "Password" using Alert.

Answer 1

You can check for alert popup. for this you need to import following,

import org.openqa.selenium.security.UserAndPassword;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;

First you need to wait until that pop up is coming.

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);

Then check for alert popup is present/visible or not

Alert alertPopUp = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent()); 

Then you can use authenticateUsing method of selenium web driver.

alertPopUp.authenticateUsing(new UserAndPassword("your_username", "your_password"));

There is also anoother way to to quick check, If you want to just verify present of alert

try {
  Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
  alert.accept();

 } catch (NoAlertPresentException e) {
   // Alert not available
   e.printStackTrace();
 }

I got this working in IE using the below code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time

driver = webdriver.Ie()
driver.get("https://scdm.corp.vha.com")
alert = driver.switch_to_alert()
alert.authenticate("username","password")
time.sleep(20)
driver.close()

Recently I came across this issue while testing the The-Internet Basic authentication Pop-Up. The solution is

driver.get('http://admin:admin@the-internet.herokuapp.com/basic_auth')

Add the username and password in the URL itself. I tried it in chrome and firefox both are working.

Instead of using AutoIt for Authentication popup you can just do this

driver.get(http://Username:Password@SiteURL)
