Re: Can't access websites protected by .htaccess auth

Norton Password Manager

Sorry, I found that this had been mentioned over a YEAR ago in Jan 2012.

http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Identity-safe-amp-htaccess/m-p/637111/highlight/true#M190694

 

Is there not going to be a fix for this?

 

The only alternative that I know of is to put the username/password in the URL, but this isn't a very safe method for browsing to htaccess secured websites.

 

In case anyone else wants to know, the method to use the username / password in the URL to provide credentials to the htaccess auth is http://username:password@whateverwebsiteitis.com
