History for this tool
The most recent data you entered in this tool, stored only in this browser.
Save what you type here, in this browser? Your work would go into this browser's local storage, so a refresh or a trip to another tool does not wipe it. You also get a short list of previous entries under the form, each one restorable with a click. Nothing is ever uploaded, and there is no account.
Being straight about the trade-off: anything kept there can be read by anyone who can use this browser profile, and by any script that later runs on this site. A tool page can hold a private key, a password or a signed token. Saving is convenient; it is not private.

About this tool
Build the Authorization: Basic header value from a username and password, and optionally produce a ready-to-use curl command. The encoding is plain Base64, which is exactly why it is only safe over HTTPS.Questions
- Is Basic authentication encrypted?
- No. The credentials are Base64-encoded, which anyone can reverse. They are protected only by the TLS connection carrying them, so never use it over plain HTTP.
