Before you use it

Processed in your browser

The username and password are not sent to the server. This page only displays the Base64 string created in the browser.

  • Basic Auth does not encrypt the password. Without HTTPS, the credential can be read in transit.
  • Do not paste the token into public logs, screenshots, or issues. Base64 can be decoded back to the original value.
  • Regenerate the header whenever the password changes. For long-lived services, consider API keys or OAuth.

How to use
