+# Basic Authentication 
+
+A simple Basic Authentication plugin that implements HTTP Basic Auth according
+to [RFC 7617](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7617), enabling secure
+authentication with username and password credentials.
+

+
+## Overview
+
+This plugin provides HTTP Basic Authentication support for API requests in Yaak. Basic
+Auth is one of the most widely supported authentication methods, making it ideal for APIs
+that require simple username/password authentication without the complexity of OAuth
+flows.
+
+## How Basic Authentication Works
+
+Basic Authentication encodes your username and password credentials using Base64 encoding
+and sends them in the `Authorization` header with each request. The format is:
+
+```
+Authorization: Basic <base64-encoded-credentials>
+```
+
+Where `<base64-encoded-credentials>` is the Base64 encoding of `username:password`.
+
+## Configuration
+
+The plugin presents two fields:
+
+- **Username**: Username or user identifier
+- **Password**: Password or authentication token
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Configure the request, folder, or workspace to use Basic Authentication
+2. Enter your username and password in the authentication configuration
+3. The plugin will automatically add the proper `Authorization` header to your requests
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **401 Unauthorized**: Verify your username and password are correct
+- **403 Forbidden**: Check if your account has the necessary permissions
+- **Connection Issues**: Ensure you're using HTTPS for secure transmission
