So I am facing following issue. I am trying to get a report from a specific site(Its not public). The steps are open the webpage --> enter username --> goto nextPage --> enter Password --> Login(These are fine).

The next step is I have to click on a link text to go to the actual page where I can select dates to get the report. Now this is where i am facing issue.

After the button click, the site is prompting for the username and password with basic auth popup. Please see below code

import time

from selenium.webdriver import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdrivermon.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

from selenium import webdriver
userName='username'
passWord='password'
driver = webdriver.Edge()
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 60)
driver.get('/')
driver.maximize_window()
userIn = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID,'input28')))
userIn.send_keys(userName)
nextBt = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CLASS_NAME,'button-primary')))
nextBt.click()
passIn = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID,'input60')))
passIn.send_keys(passWord)
loginBt = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CLASS_NAME,'button-primary')))
loginBt.click()
reportBt = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID,'LinkText')))
reportBt.click()  #Error pointing out to this
print("Button Clicked")  #Didnt Execute
alert = wait.until(EC.alert_is_present())
alert.send_keys(userName + Keys.TAB + passWord)
alert.accept()
time.sleep(60)

The script is throwing error in the reportBt.click(). So no matter what I try I cant interact with the Pop-up. So far I have tried.

1. Using different browser.
2. trying to use the URL directly like user:[email protected]
3. Autoit
4. The one above in the code.

Its just doesn't move pass the click command. print("Button Clicked") was not executed in the above code.

Please see below error message.

Let's take it a simple way. A basic auth pop-up is a window of OS, not a window of browser. You can control browser by using selenium, but can not interact with a OS pop-up window. You can try other automation libary like win32gui to interact with a OS pop-up.
