        Thanks for your interest in FastAPI! 🚀

        If you are not @tiangolo or he didn't ask you directly to create an issue here, please start the conversation in a [Question in GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/discussions/categories/questions) instead.
  - type: checkboxes
    id: privileged

Then you can try and help them solve those questions.

## Ask Questions

You can <a href="https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/discussions/new?category=questions" class="external-link" target="_blank">create a new question</a> in the GitHub repository, for example to:

* Ask a **question** or ask about a **problem**.
* Suggest a new **feature**.

**Note**: if you do it, then I'm going to ask you to also help others. 😉

## Review Pull Requests

On the other hand, if you have 2 servers and you are using **100% of their CPU and RAM**, at some point one process will ask for more memory, and the server will have to use the disk as "memory" (which can be thousands of times slower), or even **crash**. Or one process might need to do some computation and would have to wait until the CPU is free again.

          * Read open questions until I find 2 where I can help someone and add a comment to help there.
          * I already hit the "watch" button in this repository to receive notifications and I commit to help at least 2 people that ask questions in the future.
          * Review one Pull Request by downloading the code and following [all the review process](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/help-fastapi/#review-pull-requests).

      options:

    ```Python hl_lines="2  6  10"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/security/tutorial006.py!}
    ```

When you try to open the URL for the first time (or click the "Execute" button in the docs) the browser will ask you for your username and password:

## Check the username

Here's a more complete example.

Use a dependency to check if the username and password are correct.
