Profiles

When to Use

Use profiles for:

• Persistent login state - Stay logged into websites across browser sessions
• Site preferences - Preserve user settings and configurations
• Testing with authentication - Test authenticated flows without re-logging in
• Multi-account management - Maintain separate profiles for different accounts
• Session reuse - Avoid repeated authentication flows in automation
• Cookie management - Preserve and reuse cookies across sessions
