Installed AutoIT and written script and generated a exe file.

2. Or is their any another way to achieve it.

Answer 1

A workaround (had similar issues with selenium) was to use Firefox, and create a browser profile that includes a password and let the browser populate the login screen.

Firefox (I have successfully implemented these steps)

• Firefox Create profile
• Firefox use profile in selenium

Chrome (Suggestions, i have not tried configuring Chrome profiles before)

• Chrome Profile
• Unsure how to configure selenium with Chrome profile

Answer 2

Based on these two questions- How to handle authentication in Chrome 59 and duplicate question, I think hitting a previous page with the authentication credentials,before the actual authentication page, makes Chrome remember the credentials and then you can use it afterwards.

I haven't implemented this and so I'm not hundred percent sure of this, but you can give it a try.

Also, when you say that you have latest Chrome and you're able to pass username:Pass@genqa/site/showGeoLocation‌​/");], I would think that you should report this to Google, if you're Chrome is above 59, since as per this post, support for this has been dropped entirely.

what's the problem with the code ?

                  handlePromise = browser.driver.getAllWindowHandles();
                  var promise1 = new Promise(function(resolve,handles) {
                        try {

                        var count=handles.length;
                        console.log("Count F: " +count) ;
                      // var newWindow = handles[count-1];
                        var newWindow = handles[count];
                        browser.driver.switchTo().window(newWindow);
                        browser.sleep(9000);
                        browser.driver.getWindowHandle();
                        browser.driver.executeScript('window.focus();');
                        console.log("Count S: " +count) ;
                        resolve(true);

                        } catch (error) {

                          console.log(error);
                        }


                    });


                    promise1.then(function(value) {
                      try {

                        console.log("promise value from p1" + value);
                        console.log("operation Function");
                      //  browser.actions().click();
                        browser.actions().sendKeys('[email protected]').perform();
                        browser.sleep(9000);

                      } catch (error) {

                        console.log(error);
                      }

                    });
