Overview

You can use this account type to connect the HTTP Client and GraphQL Snaps with data sources that use the Basic Authentication account.

Limitations

HttpClient5 library does not support colons in Usernames when using Basic Authentication, because it follows the updated RFC 7617 specification. This standard does not support colons in usernames for Basic Authentication.
We recommend that you use the Secured Headers Account if the username contains colons.
