title: Manually enter auth credentials in dialog
body: <p>I need Cypress authenticate a XHR request done in my app. The authentication <strong>is not</strong> <em>Basic</em>, but <em>Digest</em>, which has made finding help harder.</p>
  
  <p>There also seems to be a bug for authenticating requests, such like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>cy.request({
    url: 'http://postman-echo.com/digest-auth',
    auth: { user: 'postman', pass: 'password', sendImmediately: false },
  })
  </code></pre>

  <p>I'm wondering if there is a temporary workaround involving making Cypress manually entering the credentials in the dialog?</p>

  <p>I've looked into listening to events such as <a href="https://docs.cypress.io/api/events/catalog-of-events.html#Cypress-Events" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>window:alert</code></a> and <a href="https://docs.cypress.io/api/events/catalog-of-events.html#Cypress-Events" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>window:confirm</code></a>, but these don't seem to catch the auth dialog.</p>
  
  <p><strong>TL:DR:</strong> How can I make Cypress enter the credentials manually in the dialog?</p>
