Basic authentication is a simple type of authentication that involves users providing their username and password, which are then sent to a server for verification. This basic authentication is a simple and easy-to-implement authentication type that you can use in applications that do not handle sensitive data.
The basic authentication process:
- A user enters a username and password.
- The web application sends the username and password in clear text to the server.
- The server checks the username and password against the database.
- If the username and password are valid, the server grants the user access to the application
