why my postman basic auth not working correctly?

Question

1. I had added username and password as basic authentication in Postman.

2. I can see authentication header after sending request too.

So why I didn't get 401 authentication error if I put some wrong username/password or empty ?

Answer 1

For Authentication need to set your account with basic auth or you can use your environment variable json file to set your details on global for change the header authentication.
