Embed User Id and Password in URL
Keywords:
It is possible to specify a username and password in a URL. For instance, when you specify an ftp: URL, your browser automatically logs in as user "anonymous" to the ftp server being connected to. You can specify a different username to use with the following syntax:
ftp://userid@hostname/Assuming a password is required, your browser will then prompt you for one. It is even possible to put a password in a URL:
ftp://userid:password@hostname/or
http://userid:password@hostname/This is unadvisable for several reasons. The URL being opened may be determinable by other users on the same machine on which you are browsing (as from a command line). The URL retrieved from the remote machine may be logged in some non-secure place on the remote machine. Your browser history would then also contain a copy of your password.
Microsoft is disabling support in Internet Explorer for this kind of information inclusion in HTTP and HTTPS protocol URLs. KB article 834489
