Google Chrome: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 407 (Proxy Authentication Required)


I'm connecting to the internet using a Proxy server. I already set the manual proxy setup with my IP address and the port. Now the issue is when I'm browsing on the internet chrome requires proxy username and password. I remember my proxy username and password but to enter those the popup window is not popping up. In Console I have this error and browser window is keep refreshing continuously with blank window.

Is there any way I can give proxy server username and password from Chrome settings? This happens only in chrome non incognito mode. I tried with Incognito mode, it asks the proxy username and password and thereafter everything working perfectly,

Note: This was listed in 2009 as a bug but I didn't found any solution to this https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=6666


Solution

  • Since there is no answer over the internet, I will post the way I solved the issue. Actually this is not the proper way to solve the issue but at least you can connect to the internet using this method.

    Proxy authentication details are stored some ware in your chrome account which associated with your email. After struggling few hours, what I did was, login to the chrome with another email so here it wont affect the settings on the previous Gmail account. Thereafter it asks the proxy username and password.

    Note: Don't click the Never button if dialogue box pops up and ask to store the username and password.

    I hope this will help for someone in future.
