title: Basic Auth
# Basic auth
When using the `insecure` authentication method, identifying using basic auth against the API is enough. Since the `insecure` method doesn't require a password, it is enough to define the username when making HTTP requests.
### With curl {#with-curl}
Add the `-u myemail@test.com` flag to your curl command.
### With wget {#with-wget}
Add the `--user=myemail@test.com` flag to your wget command.
