Basic Auth Remember by kpfecteau

Firefox's password manager can save HTTP Basic auth logins, but it only fills in the dialog: you still have to confirm it every session. Basic Auth Remember answers the login prompt for you.

How it works

• Save a login for a host from the toolbar popup, or manage them all on the options page.
• Hosts can be exact (staging.example.com, localhost:8080), wildcards (*.example.com), or regular expressions (/^review-\d+\.example\.com$/).
• When a site asks for a login and a saved one matches, it's sent automatically. If the site rejects it, Firefox's normal dialog appears instead; there's no retry loop.
• The toolbar icon shows ✓ when a login was sent and ✗ when it was rejected.

Privacy and security

• Logins are encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a key derived from your passphrase (PBKDF2-SHA256, 600,000 iterations). Only the encrypted copy is stored. You unlock once per Firefox session.
• Nothing is sent anywhere except the login itself, to the site that asked for it. No analytics, no remote code, no network requests of its own.
• Firefox won't offer to save these site passwords in its own password manager.

Private windows: allow "Run in Private Windows" for the extension in about:addons to use it there.
