Handle Authentication Popup in Selenium WebDriver Using Java

We can handle authentication popup in Selenium webdriver using Java. To do this, we have to pass the user credentials within the URL. We shall have to add the username and password to the URL.

Syntax −

https://username:password@URL
https://admin:[email protected]/basic_auth
Here, the admin is the username and password.
URL – www.the-internet.herokuapp.com/basic_auth
Let us work and accept the below authentication popup.

Example

Code Implementation.

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
   public class AuthnPopup{
      public static void main(String[] args) {
      System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\Users\ghs6kor\Desktop\Java\chromedriver.exe");
      WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
      String u = "admin";

      // adding username, password with URL
      String str = "https://" + u + ":" + u + "@" + "the-internet.herokuapp.com/basic_auth";
      driver.get(str);

      // identify and get text after authentication of popup
      String t = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("p")).getText();
      System.out.println("Text is: " + t);

      //close browser
      driver.close();
   }
}

Output
