About Basic Auth Generator
Build an HTTP Authorization: Basic … header from a username and password, or decode an existing Basic value back to username:password. The page shows the Base64 form so you can verify request config.
Basic Auth is not encryption; without HTTPS credentials can be intercepted.
How Basic Auth Generator works
For a one-off request or reading a test header, this page avoids forgetting the Basic prefix. Production systems should build headers via secret managers, HTTP clients, or gateways — not hard-code credentials in front-end code.
Use only test credentials or values you are allowed to handle. Never paste production passwords, and always send Basic Auth over HTTPS.
