How to handle login pop up window using Selenium WebDriver?

How to handle the login pop up window using Selenium Webdriver? I have attached the sample screen here. How can I enter/input Username and Password to this login pop up/alert window?

Thanks & Regards,

Solution 1:

Use the approach where you send username and password in URL Request:

http://username:[email protected]

So just to make it more clear. The username is username password is password and the rest is usual URL of your test web

Works for me without needing any tweaks.

Sample Java code:

public static final String TEST_ENVIRONMENT = "the-site.com";
private WebDriver driver;

public void login(String uname, String pwd){
  String URL = "http://" + uname + ":" + pwd + "@" + TEST_ENVIRONMENT;
  driver.get(URL);
}

@Test
public void testLogin(){
   driver = new FirefoxDriver();
   login("Pavel", "UltraSecretPassword");
   //Assert...
}

Solution 2:

This should works with windows server 2012 and IE.

var alert = driver.SwitchTo().Alert();

alert.SetAuthenticationCredentials("username", "password");

alert.Accept();

Solution 3:

This is very simple in WebDriver 3.0(As of now it is in Beta).

Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert() ;
alert.authenticateUsing(new UserAndPassword(_user_name,_password));
driver.switchTo().defaultContent() ; 

Hopefully this helps.

Solution 4:

Now in 2020 Selenium 4 supports authenticating using Basic and Digest auth . Its using the CDP and currently only supports chromium-derived browsers

Example :

Java Example :

    Webdriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    
    ((HasAuthentication) driver).register(UsernameAndPassword.of("username", "pass"));

    driver.get("http://sitewithauth");
    
 

Note : In Alpha-7 there is bug where it send username for both user/password. Need to wait for next release of selenium version as fix is available in trunk https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/commit/4917444886ba16a033a81a2a9676c9267c472894

Solution: Windows active directory authentication using Thread and Robot

I used Java Thread and Robot with Selenium webdriver to automate windows active directory authentication process of our website. This logic worked fine in Firefox and Chrome but it didn't work in IE. For some reason IE kills the webdriver when authentication window pops up whereas Chrome and Firefox prevents the web driver from getting killed. I didn't try in other web browser such as Safari.

//...
//Note: this logic works in Chrome and Firefox. It did not work in IE and I did not try Safari.

//import relevant packages here

public class TestDemo {

    static WebDriver driver;

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        //setup web driver
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path to your chromedriver.exe");
        driver = new ChromeDriver();

        //create new thread for interaction with windows authentication window
        (new Thread(new LoginWindow())).start();                

        //open your url. this will prompt you for windows authentication
        driver.get("your url");

        //add test scripts below ...
        driver.findElement(By.linkText("Home")).click();    
        //.....
        //.....
    }

    //inner class for Login thread    
    public class LoginWindow implements Runnable {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            try {
                login();
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                System.out.println("Error in Login Thread: " + ex.getMessage());
            }
        }

        public void login() throws Exception {

            //wait - increase this wait period if required
            Thread.sleep(5000);

            //create robot for keyboard operations
            Robot rb = new Robot();

            //Enter user name by ctrl-v
            StringSelection username = new StringSelection("username");
            Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(username, null);            
            rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
            rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V);
            rb.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V);
            rb.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);

            //tab to password entry field
            rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_TAB);
            rb.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_TAB);
            Thread.sleep(2000);

            //Enter password by ctrl-v
            StringSelection pwd = new StringSelection("password");
            Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(pwd, null);
            rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
            rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V);
            rb.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V);
            rb.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);

            //press enter
            rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
            rb.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);

            //wait
            Thread.sleep(5000);
        }
