Basic Authentication

Basic Authentication is a simple way to secure access to a website or online service. When a user tries to log in, they enter a username and password. This information is sent to the server, where it is checked against stored credentials. If it matches, the user gains access; if not, access is denied. While easy to implement, Basic Authentication can be insecure since the username and password can be exposed if not transmitted over a secure connection (such as HTTPS). It's often recommended to use stronger authentication methods for better security.
