Authenticated Monitoring

Sign in once in the live browser, and every check sees the page the way you do: supplier portals, dashboards, members’ price lists. Monity keeps the browser session, so you don’t save a password.

  • Sign in once, in a real browser
  • Two-factor codes work
  • No password saved in Monity

Sign in once

Log in the way you always do, in a real browser.

Switch the task editor from Preview to Live browser and a real browser opens in the panel. Sign in as you normally would, two-factor code included, then open the page you want to watch. Monity keeps the session, and every check runs signed in.

  • You don’t save a password in Monity
  • The whole browser session is kept, not a cookie that expires in days
  • If a site signs you out, sign in again and the next check picks it up
Monitor pages behind a login

Several accounts

One saved login per account, when tasks need different ones.

Your account starts with a Default browser. Add more saved logins when different tasks need different accounts on the same site, and pick one for each task on its Advanced tab. Each shows when it was saved and last used, with buttons to resume or clear it.

Or script it

Prefer steps? Type the login, with the password kept private.

A Type step can fill a sign-in form before each check. Mark the field as private and what you type is hidden in the editor and stored encrypted. Scripted logins can’t answer two-factor prompts, which is why the live browser is the usual way.

FAQ

Questions about Authenticated Monitoring

How does Monity stay signed in?
You sign in once in the live browser and Monity keeps that browser session, so every check runs signed in. It lasts as long as the site keeps you signed in.
Do I need to give Monity my password?
Not with the live browser: you sign in yourself and Monity keeps the session. If you script the login with a Type step instead, the password is stored encrypted.
What about two-factor authentication?
Type the code in the live browser when you sign in, as you normally would. A scripted login can’t answer a two-factor prompt.
What happens when a site signs me out?
Checks capture the sign-in page instead of your content. Open the task in the live browser, sign in again, and the next check picks up the new session.
Can different tasks use different accounts?
Yes. Add a saved login for each account and choose it on each task’s Advanced tab, under Device.
Which plans include saved logins?
Paid plans and the 7-day Business trial.
