how to fill fields of a dialog in ie with powershell?

Question

I have the following box that needs to be filled with a name and a password, how can I handle it with powershell from the InternetExplorer.Application object or with another object using powershell's own libraries:

Answer 1

Typically when accessing a website through basic authentication you can include the username and password inline with the URL like this:

http://<username>:<password>@192.168.1.1

Or with HTTPS simply:

https://<username>:<password>@192.168.1.1

So, for example if my username is baa and my password is hunter2 then the URL would be http://baa:hunter2@192.168.1.1.

Depending on your workflow this may be feasible.
