Authenticated browser automation operates pages that are available only after sign-in. A person may complete passwords, verification codes, consent, or other sensitive authentication steps before the automation continues with the established session.
Session credentials should not be exposed to the agent unnecessarily. Secure designs isolate sessions, limit destinations and actions, respect expiry, and require reauthentication or approval for sensitive changes.

Authenticated browser automation performs approved work inside a website after a user or trusted system has signed in. The automation uses the established session without needing to receive the person's password or verification code directly.
For example, a user might sign in to an expense service and then let automation prepare a report from visible transactions. The session should be isolated, limited to approved destinations and actions, and require fresh approval or sign-in before sensitive changes.
