FAQ

How to generate Authorization request headers online?

Enter username and password to generate Basic Auth, input Token to generate Bearer header, or combine ApiKey format as needed. Suitable for getting auth info right in one go.

What's the difference between Basic Auth and Bearer Token request headers?

Basic Auth is typically used for username/password authentication, generating a Base64-encoded Authorization header. Bearer Token is commonly used for JWT, OAuth2, and various API token authentication, carrying access tokens directly in the request header.

Can the generated auth headers be used with Postman, curl, and Apifox?

Yes. Generated Authorization headers can be directly copied to Postman, Apifox, Swagger, curl commands, or frontend/backend integration environments to quickly reproduce API auth scenarios and troubleshoot 401, 403, and other permission errors.

Is it safe to generate auth headers online? Will usernames, passwords, and Tokens be uploaded?

The tool uses browser local processing mode. Auth info can be generated and validated without uploading to servers. Suitable for handling test environment credentials, Bearer Tokens, and temporary API keys, minimizing sensitive credential leakage risks.
