Sometimes, when trying to access a specific URL on a website, you may encounter a prompt for authentication. This means the website requires you to provide login credentials before granting access to the page. In this article, we will discuss the two ways authentication is commonly implemented on websites and how you can access these pages using Yodeck.

The first method of authentication is called HTTP Basic Authentication. This type of authentication requires you to provide a username and password to access the page. With Yodeck, you can easily provide these credentials using the web page URL you are trying to access. Here's how:

For example, if your username is "user" and your password is "passwd", the URL would look like this: http://user:[email protected]/path/to/your/page.php

To test this out, you can use the following link in Yodeck: https://user:[email protected]/basic-auth/user/passwd

The second method of authentication is called form-based authentication. This type of authentication involves login forms and sessions/cookies. To access a page requiring this type of authentication, you must use Yodeck's scripting engine. Here's how:

By following these steps, you can now access any website that requires authentication using Yodeck. If you have any problems, please feel free to refer to our help center.
