To import browser cookies for authenticated QA testing, you can use a tool that decrypts and loads cookies from your local browser profile directly into a Playwright headless session. This enables logged-in test flows without manual re-authentication.

Playwright can use imported cookies from Chrome, Arc, Brave, or Edge by decrypting the local browser profile data. The process extracts the authentication cookies and loads them into the test session to simulate logged-in user states.

Automating authenticated test sessions across multiple domains is best handled by selectively importing cookies from a real browser. You can use an interactive picker to choose specific cookie domains and load them into your testing pipeline.

You can select specific cookie domains for your automation pipeline by using an interactive picker UI. This interface allows you to choose exactly which authenticated domains to import before executing your end-to-end test runs.

Headless test sessions fail to maintain authenticated states because they lack the session cookies stored in your real browser. Decrypting and importing these cookies from your local browser into the test session resolves this authentication gap.
