+* You have installed at least one extension that provides an `IdentityProvider` based on username and password.
+For example:
+
+** xref:security-jpa.adoc[Quarkus Security Jakarta Persistence extensions (`security-jpa` or `security-jpa-reactive`)]
+** xref:security-properties.adoc[Elytron security properties file extension `(quarkus-elytron-security-properties-file)`]
+** xref:security-jdbc.adoc[Elytron security JDBC extension `(quarkus-elytron-security-jdbc)`]
+
+The following procedure outlines how you can enable Basic authentication for your application by using the `elytron-security-properties-file` extension.
 
 == Procedure
 
-. Enable Basic authentication by setting the `quarkus.http.auth.basic` property to `true`.
+. In the `application.properties` file, set the `quarkus.http.auth.basic` property to `true`.
 +
 [source,properties]
 ----
 quarkus.http.auth.basic=true

-. For testing purposes, you can configure the required user credentials, user name, secret, and roles, in the `application.properties` file.
+. **Optional:** In a non-production environment only and purely for testing Quarkus Security in your applications:
+.. To enable authentication for the embedded realm, set the `quarkus.security.users.embedded.enabled` property to `true`.

+[source,properties]
