Selenium - Basic Authentication via url

Question

In my Selenium-Test (with chromedriver-2.24) I\'m trying to access my webpage via basic authentication with the following statement:

Answer 1

Such Basic authentication will not be supported directly using the selenium driver.get(URL) method to load a URL prompting for authentication within a JavaScript Popup, I was also stuck here for a long time. It's because of Chrome driver will not allow such authentication techniques after the update 59 (probably). There are still backdoors via Selenium using the JavaScript engine in the browser to load such URLs.

driver.get("https://www.google.com");
JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
URL = "https://username:password@www.example.com";
jse.executeScript("window.open('"+URL+"')");
