# Monitoring Password Protected Sites

There are various types of **password protection** implemented on web sites and servers. The following outline describes each one of these and how we support it.  
  
**HTTP Login** - This is the standard login which is part of the HTTP protocol. Standard Internet browsers popup a login box for this type of login. AlertBot completely supports this type of login.  
  
**Web Page Form-Based Login** - This type of login is implemented right into the web page itself. It looks like a typical web-based form and is embedded directly into the page. AlertBot supports this login as long as the page being tested after the login is not a form as well. Currently we can only test a normal page after the login.  
  
**Windows Login** - This is a login type specific to Microsoft Windows. This type of login is not popular on the Internet, and is rarely used. AlertBot does not support this type of login.
