Not executing in Chrome - LogIn button is not getting pressed:  
[https://docs.katalon.com/display/KD/[WebUI]+Authenticate](https://docs.katalon.com/display/KD/%5BWebUI%5D+Authenticate)

It’s working in FireFox

In both Chrome and FireFox , timeout is waiting BEFORE username / password starts to be entered, instead of waiting after “Log In” is pressed

Hi there,

So you should use autoIT in this case: [https://docs.katalon.com/display/KD/Using+autoIT+for+authentication+in+Katalon+Studio](https://docs.katalon.com/display/KD/Using+autoIT+for+authentication+in+Katalon+Studio)

Thanks for pointing it out. But it’s still not to solution to the bug. Basic Auth form is populated properly, and only the button is not pressed, so I suspect (again) something is wrong inside of Katalon code.

As a sample, this wouldn’t work on Linux / MacOS , not to mention potential Docker implications.

Works fine for me in Firefox, but Chrome nothing ever gets entered using Authenticate.exe and AutoIT.

This issue has been fixed in the latest version. Have you tried that?
