If you are using Swashbuckle.AspNetCore v5.0.0-rc2 see below:

   c.AddSecurityDefinition("Basic", new OpenApiSecurityScheme
            {
                Description = "Basic auth added to authorization header",
                Name = "Authorization",
                In = ParameterLocation.Header,
                Scheme = "basic",
                Type = SecuritySchemeType.Http
            });

            c.AddSecurityRequirement(new OpenApiSecurityRequirement
            {
                {
                    new OpenApiSecurityScheme
                    {
                        Reference = new OpenApiReference { Type = ReferenceType.SecurityScheme, Id = "Basic" }
                    },
                    new List<string>()
                }
            });
