If this is a header that you need to add, you are totally free to do so. Most likely you will need to create it manually and you won’t have the nice Postman interface but this should work just fine.

Adding to what @vdespa said, if you need to add these authentication info in headers repeatedly, you can also look at [header presets](https://learning.getpostman.com/docs/postman/sending_api_requests/requests/#header-presets).
