How to handle browser login popup using Selenium & Java

Question

The website that I am trying to automate has a authentication popup that appears when someone visits it. I tried the following code but Chrome immediately throws no alert present exception on the switchTo() line.

Firefox does not seem to be working. I am currently using Selenium 3.6.0 with the latest binaries of these browsers. Can someone please help me out?

driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("https://staging.brightsociety.com/");
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());
Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
alert.authenticateUsing(new UserAndPassword(username, password));
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();

Selenium do not handle it by switchto command because this is something that is browser specific instead of website.

Solution 1:

driver.get("http://username:[email protected]");

But problem with this method is that as you traverse to multiple pages the popup will appear again and again which is again difficult to handle.

Solution 2: (Recommended)

AutoIt script, Download AutoIt here And Find the Script for Authentication PopUp here

Do you need check it or pass it? If you need to pass, put login and password in URL.
