Try following solution and let me know in case of any issues:

driver.get('https://example.com/')
driver.switchTo().alert().sendKeys("username" + Keys.TAB + "password");
driver.switchTo().alert().accept();

This is working fine for me

Popular solution is to append username and password in URL  like  http   username password website com  However  if your username or password contains special character  then it may fail  So when you create the URL  make sure you encode those special characters   String username   URLEncoder encode user  StandardCharsets UTF 8 toString     String password   URLEncoder encode pass  StandardCharsets UTF 8 toString     String url      http         username             password       website com     driver get url
