Browser Use tutorial demonstrates reusing a login profile across runs
Understand this story
Browser Use releases a tutorial demonstrating how to make a new browser run reuse a previous login state: after logging in, stop the browser and save the state, then pass the same profile ID on the next run to skip the login form. The tutorial verifies this with a public test account across two separate runs; the second run did not fill in the login form yet still reached the /secure page and saw the Secure Area heading and Logout link. As the tutorial requires, using cloud runs needs Python, a Browser Use API key, and the corresponding quota, and the API key and profile must belong to the same project; when serving multiple end users, a different Browser Use profile should be used for each person. Browser Use says the approach depends on each website's own determination of login validity and does not guarantee that other websites will accept transferred login state.

- Browser Use BlogLog In Once: Reuse Cookies and Profiles Across Browser Use Runs
This tutorial shows how to create an empty Browser Use profile, log in with it attached, stop the browser to save its state, and pass the same profile ID to a second run that reaches a protected page without credentials. It also demonstrates saving and reloading Playwright's storage_state file locally, plus handling expired cookies, keeping per-user profiles separate, and troubleshooting. The demo uses The Internet's public test account, and the author notes that the website still decides how long a login remains valid.
