Full summary	Basic Authentication is a straightforward Chrome extension designed to automate the basic authentication login process commonly used in staging environments. It stores credentials locally on your machine, ensuring that your private information is not collected, stored, or synchronized externally, providing enhanced privacy and security. This plugin allows you to enter your basic auth credentials once and bypass the prompt for the rest of your session. For users working across multiple domains, the "Advanced settings" feature enables you to manage credentials specific to various domains easily. The extension has been updated to Manifest 3 and refined by removing proxy support and performing code refactoring to improve user experience. Users are encouraged to report bugs and issues to help maintain and improve the extension.
