I'm trying to handle authentication popup using the code below:

FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("network.http.phishy-userpass-length", 255);
profile.setPreference("network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris", "x.x.x.x");
driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
baseUrl="http://" + login + ":" + password + "@" + url;
driver.get(baseUrl + "/");

When I execute the test, the page shows the authentication popup and still loading for a until I click cancel button. A that moment, I can access to the next page ,this mean that the authentication success but still always show the authentication popup

The Alert Method, authenticateUsing() lets you skip the Http Basic Authentication box.

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);      
Alert alert = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());     
alert.authenticateUsing(new UserAndPassword(username, password));

As of Selenium 3.4 it is still in beta

Right now implementation is only done for InternetExplorerDriver
