Quick question, if I want to set Chromium's HTTP Proxy via the command line argument --proxy-server="USERhere:PASShere@127.0.0.1:8080 as detailed here, how would I go about entering a username that is an email address (so already includes an @ symbol)?

Unfortunately I don't think you can do this. The (wild) claim is they don't support this for security reasons. Did you workaround a solution here? – hayd Apr 07 '18 at 20:52

My only solution was to ask my proxy provider to issue me with a username that was not my email address. – raicho Jun 28 '18 at 08:07

I could never get user:pass working (even without an email address in the username), even though this worked in other systems Chrome didn;t like it. I thought there was an issue about this somewhere... – hayd Sep 11 '18 at 06:34

@hayd same for me. How did you solve it? Use other browser? – Spencer Aug 24 '19 at 13:25

@YueDeng For production I used squid instance in the end. I use a more intrusive VPN on my personal machine (that catches every request not just from Chrome/Chromium). – hayd Aug 25 '19 at 00:24

@hayd Thanks! I also found a good solution: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9888323/how-to-override-basic-authentication-in-selenium2-with-java-using-chrome-driver – Spencer Aug 25 '19 at 11:47
