Basic Authentication now supported!
We now support websites with basic authentication enabled!
Yet another super update to our product today, is the ability to support your website that are protected with basic authentication.
Previously, if your website was protected by basic authentication, you may have noticed that the Marker.io app may not capture all of your images/assets correctly.
Well, from today, that’s about to change!
Let’s see how it works 👇
I have Basic authentication enabled on my trusty sample website ClientYard.com
When I attempt to take a screenshot of the about us page, oops, it does not include the images.
Can you feel my pain?
Well, from today, I can go to the security settings on my Marker.io app, and add my basic auth credentials.
Now I go back to take a new screenshot et voilà, all images appear correctly!
It’s as simple as that.
If your website is protected by basic authentication, go ahead and add the credentials to your Marker.io app today for pixel perfect screenshots.
