Basic authentication

Generate and inspect Basic auth headers

How to use / Notes

How to use

  1. Enter a username and password to generate the header.
  2. Or paste an existing Authorization header to decode it.
  3. Copy the generated value.

Notes

  • Basic auth is Base64-encoded, not encrypted—always use it over HTTPS.
  • Keep generated credentials out of logs and shared links.
