I'm making tests for the company where i'm doing my intership, but i don't know how to make that the script put my credentials in this part, if i enter in the page(myself, not the chromedriver) automatically gets the credentials from the login on my pc, obviously the test driver can't do that, that's why i get that alert, my question is how can i put the credentials there automatically? for now i'm putting a thread sleep and putting the credentials manually but i know that's not the optimal way to do it, i already try using the alert methods:

var alert = driver.SwitchTo().Alert();
alert.SetAuthenticationCredentials("user","password");
alert.Accept();

But I get this error:

Message: OpenQA.Selenium.NoAlertPresentException : no such alert
(Session info: chrome=87.0.4280.141)

And if i put a wait i got a timeout but nothing happen, as you can see i'm using chrome, i read a post from some years that chrome can't manage alerts, but i don't know if that's a thing today, i hope you guys can help me.

It's not an alert as such but the Basic Authentication popup.

Solution

You can access the url passing the username and password embedded within the url as follows:

driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://<username>:<password>@website.com/");

As an example to login within Basic Auth you can use:

driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://admin:admin@the-internet.herokuapp.com/basic_auth");

  • I add it but the same login appear, and don't show any error about the credentials or something like that, it's like the credentials in the link doesn't exist, there is a problem if i have a "+" in my password? – Freyre Gonzalez Jan 12 '21 at 22:05
  • @FreyreGonzalez `+` in password. you have to handle it differently. Check the discussion [Python HTTP Basic Authentication through Selenium when username and password contains special characters](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53371250/python-http-basic-authentication-through-selenium-when-username-and-password-con/53371455#53371455) – undetected Selenium Jan 12 '21 at 22:09

After days on research and trying, this is what works for me, i did a Google Chrome extension, the basic authentication method of http://user:password@mywebsite.com don't work anymore so i did this extension with my credentials, it's kinda risky but it was the only solution that i found

First you need to make a manifest.json:

{
  "name": "Webrequest API",
  "version": "1.0",
  "description": "Extension to handle Authentication window",
  "permissions": [
    "webRequest",
    "webRequestBlocking",
    "<all_urls>"
  ],
  "background": {
    "scripts": [
      "webrequest.js"
    ]
  },
  "manifest_version": 2
}

Then you need to create webrequest.js:

chrome.webRequest.onAuthRequired.addListener(function(details){
        console.log("chrome.webRequest.onAuthRequired event has fired");
        return {
                authCredentials: {username: "myusername", password: "mypassword"}
            };
    },
    {urls:["<all_urls>"]},
    ['blocking']);

After that you need to create the crx, in the chrome://Extension site in developer mode, after that you should login without problem in the website you're trying to login.
