URL Basic Auth Warning

URL Basic Auth Warning is a Chrome extension that acts as a safeguard against potential phishing attacks by displaying a warning when you are about to visit a URL containing basic auth credentials. This tool aims to enhance user awareness and prevent unintentional exposure to phishing attempts.

Clicking on a link that leads to a URL structured like may direct you to a different domain than expected, potentially enabling attackers to execute phishing schemes. By providing a timely alert in such scenarios, this extension serves as an additional layer of defense, although it does not eliminate the need for users to exercise caution and take responsibility for their own online security.

Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
