How to Bypass Basic Authentication Popups in Selenium with Incorrect Credentials?

Windows Authentication with Incorrect Username and Password in Python

In an attempt to enter data in a prompt while accessing a URL, the following Python script encountered an error:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
url = "http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/basic_auth"
driver.get(url)
time.sleep(5)
alert = driver.switch_to.alert
alert.authenticate('admin','admin')
time.sleep(4)
alert.accept()

The issue arises when the provided username and password ('admin, 'admin') are incorrect. To resolve this, the credentials must be replaced with a valid username and password for the desired prompt.

One approach to bypass the Basic Authentication popup in Selenium 3.4.0, geckodriver v0.18.0, Mozilla Firefox 53.0 using Python 3.6.1 is to embed the username and password in the URL as follows:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary

binary = FirefoxBinary('C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe')
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_binary=binary, executable_path="C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\geckodriver.exe")
driver.get("http://admin:[email protected]/basic_auth")

This approach embeds the credentials into the URL, opening the specified website with a valid authentication. Note that the credentials should be replaced with the correct username and password for the desired URL.
