Description

I'd like to add a section on basic authentication for pytest.

#In conftest.py, add the following:

@pytest.fixture(scope="session")
def browser_context_args(browser_context_args):
    return {
        **browser_context_args,
        "http_credentials": {'username': E2E_USERNAME, 'password': E2E_PASSWORD},
    }

Note: this would be useful as I've seen several people use set_extra_http_headers and run into issues

Moving upstream, hence this is about adding a basic authentication section to all the language bindings docs. Right now its poorly visible in the docs, "basic auth" does not end up in any docs hits, while it should lead to https://playwright.dev/docs/network#http-authentication or end up getting mirrored in the auth.md.
