--login option

[nolanlawson]

The --setup flag is good, but I wonder if something like --login username,password makes even more sense. Probably 99% of people just need to bypass a login screen and start testing their app.

Then again, there are security issues here (passwords in plain text), and maybe I'm better off teaching people how to fish rather than trying to give them a ready-made solution that may not work out-of-the-box (e.g. 2FA, or if there's an additional confirmation screen after the login screen).

How would --login username,password decide which fields to fill?

[nolanlawson]

I believe there are some conventions that password managers rely on, e.g. that the ID is always username / password or something like that.

@nolanlawson just a FYI, this is mostly handled by the playwright project. I think I might give microsoft/playwright#14134 a try. Playwright managed a lot of this sort of thing.
