Set Proxy Username Password Windows 10
Adding credentials to Windows Proxy Settings – Microsoft …
Answer
Hi All,
So I played around a bit with different settings, proxy management apps and I found a suitable solution that I would like to share with you all (for in case some others have the same issue).
Setting up the Proxy Settings:
In the Windows 10 menu, I went to settings (WinKey+I) and searched for “Configure Proxy Settings”. Select Internet Settings > Local LAN Settings >Proxy Server Settings.
Select the option to make use of a proxy server, and enter the Server Address and Port
Setting up the credentials for the Proxy Server:
In Windows 10 menu, go to Settings (WinKey+I) and search for “Credential Manager”. Under Windows Credentials, add a new entry for Windows Credentials. Enter the Proxy Server address (without the port number), your domain user name and the password.
Once these details are active, you should be able to make use of the proxy server under your custom entered user credentials.
Just remember to deactivate the “Use a Proxy Server” setting (first step) when browsing from outside the network where the proxy is required.
Regards,
Pieter

Windows 10 – Set up a OS-level proxy with authentication
To connect with certain server, I need to have always the same IP. For that purpose I created a private proxy, and I added authentication so that hackers wouldn’t use it for malicious purposes.
Configuring the proxy on software like Firefox is a breeze. The problem is that web browsers aren’t the only software that need to connect with this server. For this, I would like to configure my whole OS to be using the proxy.
I tried looking in Windows 10 network configuration, and I saw a place to put my proxy’s IP address, but there is no option to include the username/password to connect.
How could I solve this problem?

Windows 10 does not support user-name and password for the automatic proxy,
and this was done for security reasons.
You will need to setup a two-step proxy:
A local proxy server on your computer without user-name and password
The local proxy should connect to the real external proxy using the user-name and password
A possible solution is installing together with
proxy-password-automator, described as:
proxy-password-automator automatically send user/password to
proxy server so you do not need to input it manually.
In theory, if you have a proxy server at real_proxy_ip:8080,
then run the following command to create a local proxy at localhost:8081
node -local_port 8081 -remote_host real_proxy_ip -remote_port 8080 -usr user -pwd pw
Then you can set Window’s proxy ip:port to localhost:8081.
A more heavy-weight solution might be to use Squid.
Other web proxies that might be of use are Privoxy,
WinGate, Anon, CCProxy.

You can authenticate to the proxy using Windows credentials.

Click OK. The encrypted password is inserted as the LocalPassword parameter and the user ID is inserted as the LocalUserid parameter.
