It already does to some extent. Please specify your exact proxy configuration (masking server names if necessary) so we can reproduce your problem.

Hi: In the company where I work, we have a proxy with username and password. NVDA expects this username and password and, because it is unable to obtain such data from my computer configuration, I get an error.

There is the end of my log file:

Performing automatic update check
WARNING - stdout (09:32:53):
Enter username for Squid proxy-caching web server at ciberpxy.once.org:3128:
WARNING - stdout (09:39:32):
Enter username for Squid proxy-caching web server at ciberpxy.once.org:3128:

I think that NVDA should be able to take the username and password, or, instead, should be able to ask these details.

Replying to jteh:

Please provide details of the proxy configuration on your system. There are no fields for username and password in the system proxy settings, so I'm wondering how these are being saved.

No response to last question and can't contact reporter. Closing.

Hello.

It seems that, in ONCE's case, username and password are stored in Credentials Manager (Windows's Control Panel). I don't have access to this proxy, but contact with the original reporter.
I propose to reopen this issue, as it could be preventing users in corporative environments from using NVDA.

Regards.

With the introduction of NVDA 2019.3, it is possible to connect to this kind of proxies by adding the "HTTP_PROXY" and "HTTPS_PROXY" environment variables to the windows user profile, containing the full Proxy address (e.g. http://me:mypassword@miproxy.micompany.com:3128). this has been tested with ciberpxy.once.org with good results.

Regards.
