2 years ago I haven't looked at this in detail yet but I am guessing based on what you're describing that it may be possible to extract the who is auth text that you are mentioning using beautifulsoup4.
Basically with beautifulsoup, you can take the HTML string returned from a requests using the requests library, and it parses it into a object oriented structure that you can work with easily. You can drill down, iterate, find the ID of the HTML element that contains the auth text you need, and extract that text.

I created a test file (see https://github.com/HOT-Ecosystem/ValueSet-Tools/issues/5#issuecomment-1009957921) to get search data from our ATLAS instance (actually, WebAPI). These calls require ATLAS authentication. There is probably a way to do that programmatically, but I did it like:
https://github.com/HOT-Ecosystem/ValueSet-Tools/blob/30d665b5e49a5b70afe799f58a18d8a49b8cd0a6/vsac_wrangler/test-webapi-call.py#L15-L25
I don't know how long the auth value I got will last, but it lasted long enough to run some queries. We'll want to figure out a less cumbersome way to do this in the future -- and a way that doesn't end up with sensitive data getting committed to github. Have others besides me and Joe gotten any of this code working yet? That requires that you set up a local /env folder for yourself. I have one on my home machine, but not on my SAFE Desktop yet.
Anyway, I'm assigning this to @richard1933 because I think he may be the person who understands the SAFE Desktop environment and our OMOP/ATLAS instance the best so far. (Will also tag @stephanieshong, @DaveraGabriel, @joeflack4, @tannerzhang.)
