Use User Credentials in Recorder ​

You can load user credentials defined in your project’s test data into Recorder. You can also retrieve Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP) for users during two-factor authentication (2FA) testing.

Use different user credentials to test login for multiple user roles (e.g., Admin, Editor, Viewer).

This allows you to load and parameterize user credentials dynamically to verify role-based access control without hardcoding credentials.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have added at least one user credentials to your project so they can be used in the Recorder.

Loading User Credentials in Recorder ​

Follow these steps to load user credentials in Recorder:

  1. Expand the Recorder to view the Test Data tab.

  4. Use the loaded test data in your recording for login or other scenarios. In the Examples section, values will be automatically replaced with {{}} syntax, making fields like password and TOTP dynamic based on the test user data set from the Test Data page.

NOTE

You can change the user parameter value to a different test user's email, ensuring that the corresponding credentials are used during the test.
