Swift 4

private func getHeaders() -> [String: String] {
        let userName = "xxxx"
        let password = "xxxx"
        let credentialData = "\(userName):\(password)".data(using: .utf8)
        guard let cred = credentialData else { return ["" : ""] }
        let base64Credentials = cred.base64EncodedData(options: [])
        guard let base64Date = Data(base64Encoded: base64Credentials) else { return ["" : ""] }
        return ["Authorization": "Basic \(base64Date.base64EncodedString())"]
    }
