    from fastapi.security import HTTPBasic, HTTPBasicCredentials

    app = FastAPI()

    security = HTTPBasic()


    @app.get("/users/me")
    def read_current_user(credentials: Annotated[HTTPBasicCredentials, Depends(security)]):

Luego, cuando escribes ese nombre de usuario y contraseña, el navegador los envía automáticamente en el header.

## Simple HTTP Basic Auth { #simple-http-basic-auth }

* Importa `HTTPBasic` y `HTTPBasicCredentials`.
* Crea un "esquema de `security`" usando `HTTPBasic`.
* Usa ese `security` con una dependencia en tu *path operation*.
* Devuelve un objeto de tipo `HTTPBasicCredentials`:
  * Contiene el `username` y `password` enviados.
