Authentication - Basic Auth
Basic Authentication involves sending a username and password with each HTTP request. The credentials are typically base64-encoded and included in the Authorization header.
Use Cases:
Internal applications or services.
Quick testing or prototyping.
Security Considerations:
Credentials are sent with every request, increasing the risk of interception.
Base64 encoding is not encryption; credentials can be easily decoded.
Not recommended for production environments without HTTPS.
