How to allow pagespeed insights to http basic authentication sites?

Question

How to allow pagespeed insights to http basic authentication sites? It is returning error as follows even though I mentioned the username and password as below format.

Lighthouse returned error: FAILED_DOCUMENT_REQUEST. Lighthouse was unable to reliably load the page you requested. Make sure you are testing the correct URL and that the server is properly responding to all requests. (Details: net::ERR_ACCESS_DENIED)

e.g curl https://www.googleapis.com/pagespeedonline/v5/runPagespeed?url=https://username:[email protected]

Our method is to send the URL as https://username:[email protected].

Same results. Normally this is sufficient bypass for other dev tools and scanners. Pagespeed Insights cannot do it.

This method does not seem to be working anymore - https://username:[email protected]

But one can check pagespeed insights through lighthouse which provides same results.

GTMetrix is another way to check pagespeed insights.

You can pass the url like this - https://username:[email protected]
