# ComfyUI Basic Auth

A simple authentication middleware for ComfyUI that adds basic HTTP authentication to protect your ComfyUI instance.

## Features

- Basic HTTP Authentication protection for ComfyUI
- Simple username/password configuration
- Lightweight and easy to set up
- Compatible with all ComfyUI versions

## Installation

1. Navigate to your ComfyUI custom nodes folder:
```bash
cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes/
```

2. Clone this repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/fofr/comfyui-basic-auth
```

## Configuration

1. Create a `.env` file in the node directory:
```bash
COMFY_AUTH_USERNAME=your_username
COMFY_AUTH_PASSWORD=your_password
```

2. Restart ComfyUI for the changes to take effect.

## Usage

The authentication will automatically be active once the node is installed and configured. When accessing ComfyUI, you will be prompted for the username and password you specified in the `.env` file.

## Security Note

Basic authentication sends credentials encoded (not encrypted) in the HTTP header. While this provides a basic level of protection, it's recommended to:

- Use strong passwords
- Access ComfyUI through HTTPS if exposed to the internet
- Consider additional security measures for production environments
