Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1
    Open the Auth demo login page and log in manually (demo@a11yscan.com / demo123).
  2. 2
    After login, you're on the dashboard. Your session cookies are now set.
  3. 3
    Open the A11y Scan side panel.
  4. 4
    Select the Site Crawl preset and start a crawl.
  5. 5
    The crawl uses your existing session — no auth config needed. The extension reuses the cookies already in the browser.
  6. 6
    This approach works for OAuth/SSO flows that the form-login method can't handle. Log in manually, then let the crawler do its job.
