Hello KATALON Community;

Does

Thanks for your help 🙂

@rabah: you could use Authenticate keyword to handle this in Firefox  
But Katalon Recording does not support on detecting authentication dialog, so while you are recording, please add authentication information manually, then proceed record other steps.  
After the test case is generated, change the line:

```auto
WebUI.navigateToURL('Your_url')

```

to

```auto
WebUI.authenticate('Your_url', 'username','password',0)

```

It should work now.  
Details for keyword authenticate is here: [https://docs.katalon.com/display/KD/%5BWebUI%5D+Authenticate](https://docs.katalon.com/display/KD/%5BWebUI%5D+Authenticate "Link: https://docs.katalon.com/display/KD/%5BWebUI%5D+Authenticate")

Sample is in attached screenshot

@rabah: do you get any error message? There are some note when you run with this:  
- This will work only for Firefox at this time  
- It will take a delay about 5-10 seconds to execute authenticate test step  
- During the authenticate test step is executed, please don’t click or open any other windows

You can user url with authentication information like below  
\*\*[http://username:password@domain.com](http://username:password@domain.com)  
\*\*this works for me
