About Basic Authentication
HTTP Basic authentication is a simple authentication scheme built into the HTTP protocol. The client sends HTTP requests with an `Authorization` header that contains the word `Basic` followed by a space and a base64-encoded string `username:password`.
⚠️ Security Note: Basic Auth does not provide any encryption for your credentials. It is only safe when used over a secure connection (HTTPS).
Immediate Feedback
The header is generated in real-time as you type, allowing for instant copying into your Postman collection or terminal.
CURL Ready
Copy the full header and use it with `curl -H "Authorization: Basic ..."` for quick testing of protected endpoints.
