How to make iOS Safari saves password for basic authentication website?

Question

I'm currently developing a website using basic authentication over https

Some customers using iOS Safari have complained that Safari does not ask to save password.

it seems that iOS Safari asks to save password only when the website implements a form based authentication.

I don't want to install a third party browser or app on all devices to solve this problem.

So, is there any way to force iOS Safari to save password for basic authentication websites ?

https://username:[email protected]/path
