How to handle authentication popup with Selenium WebDriver

I am trying to handle authentication popup through my selenium test by passing username and password in URL.

I have tried following solutions:

1. I have tried to send username and password in URL
2. I have tried handling with alert, it doesn't work.
3. I have tried solutions provided in - How to handle authentication popup with Selenium WebDriver using Java, almost all other than AutoIT, none of them worked for me

I have a Maven project, I am trying to send url with username and password from project.properties file, which looks like this -

URL = https://username:password@URL

open url code-

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

driver.navigate.to(URL);

I get below error in browser console: "there has been a problem with your fetch operation: Failed to execute 'fetch' on 'Window': Request cannot be constructed from a URL that includes credentials"
