from aiohttp_basicauth import BasicAuthMiddleware


class CustomBasicAuth(BasicAuthMiddleware):
    async def check_credentials(self, username, password):
        return username == 'user' and password == 'password'

app = web.Application(middlewares=[auth])

web.run_app(app, host='127.0.0.1', port=80)
