Question

What are the different ways of handling authentication popup window using Selenium?

Answer 1

Hey Pragati, authentication popups can be handled in 3 different ways:

1. By passing user credentials in URL: Append your username and password with the URL. Syntax is: http://Username:Password@SiteURL; For eg:

   • String URL = "http://" + abha_r + ":" + myPassword + "@" + www.prime.amazon.com;
     driver.get(URL);
     Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
     alert.accept();

2. By using AutoIT: Use AutoIT script to send username and password. For eg:

   • public static void login(String email, String password) throws Exception{
     
     driver.get(URL);
     WinWaitActivate("Authentication Required","")
     Send("abha_r{TAB}myPassword{ENTER}")
     
     Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Download\\AutoItFiles\\ExecutableFiles\\FirefoxBrowser.exe");
     driver.findElement
     
     loginpage.setEmail(email);
     loginpage.setPassword(password);
     loginpage.clickOnLogin();
     }
      

3. By using Alerts in Selenium: We can use following lines of code to handle popup window using Alerts. For eg:

   • driver.switchTo().alert();
     
     //Selenium-WebDriver Java Code for entering Username & Password as below:
     
     driver.findElement(By.id("userID")).sendKeys("userName");
     driver.findElement(By.id("password")).sendKeys("myPassword");
     driver.switchTo().alert().accept();
     driver.switchTo().defaultContent();

Show us that this works.  AutoIt claims that they do not interact with browser controls (Authentication Required) is a firefox dialog.  ?
