AutoAuth

AutoAuth automatically submits HTTP authentication dialogs when you’ve chosen to have the browser save your login information.

AutoAuth is a handy Chrome extension that automatically submits HTTP authentication credentials once you've entered them and saved your login information. It eliminates the need to manually enter credentials each time an HTTP auth dialog appears, streamlining your browsing experience. Simply save your login details in the browser, and AutoAuth takes care of submitting them on your behalf.

For any bugs or issues, users can report them directly on the GitHub repository's issues page. AutoAuth is ideal for users who frequently access sites requiring HTTP authentication, saving time and improving workflow efficiency.
