Overview

Login Identities are reusable login profiles that let your tests start from an authenticated state. Decipher supports two types:
  • Credentials — Stores a username and password. Decipher logs in automatically before each test run.
  • 2FA / Magic Link — For login flows that require human interaction (2FA codes, magic links, OTPs). You log in once in a live browser session, and Decipher saves the browser state.

​
Credentials Identity

  1. Go to Tests → Identities and click Create Identity
  2. Select Credentials
  3. Fill in Name, Login URL, Username/Email, Password, and optionally a PIN
  4. Click Create Identity
That’s it — Decipher will automatically log in with these credentials before each test run. No manual login session needed.
  1. Go to Tests → Identities and click Create Identity
  2. Select 2FA / Magic Link
  3. Fill in Name and Login URL
  4. Click Create Identity
After creating the identity, you need to run a login session to establish the browser state:
  1. Click Run Login on the identity
  2. Complete the login in the live browser session (enter credentials, approve 2FA, click magic link, etc.)
  3. Click End Session when done
Decipher saves the browser state so future test runs can start from this authenticated session.
Create separate identities for different user roles (admin, standard user, etc.) to test role-specific functionality.

​
Using Identities in Tests

When creating a test, select an Identity from the dropdown. The test will use that identity’s stored credentials or saved browser session to start in an authenticated state.

​
Managing Identities

  • Edit — Select an identity, click Edit, update fields, and Save Changes. If active test validations use this identity, you’ll be prompted to restart them with the new credentials.
  • Delete — Select an identity, click Delete, and confirm. This also removes all associated login attempts.
