How to handle authentication popup with Selenium WebDriver using python?

Question

In this question an answer is given on how to handle authentication popup with Selenium WebDriver using Java . Now, can this be used also for python? It looks like the python driver has no class UserAndPassword like the Java pendant has.

Here is what I have tried:

    wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
    alert = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent())
    alert.authenticateUsing(UserAndPassword("user","passwd"))

Answer 1

Indeed there is no such class in python selenium library, but you can easly navigate to given alert and input user and password using other means.

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
alert = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alert_is_present())
alert = driver.switch_to_alert()
alert.send_keys('username')
alert.send_keys(Keys.TAB)
alert.send_keys('password')
alert.accept()

This will work on standard authentication, if it is custom made one you will probably have tinker with it abit.
