Web-based logins are logins where the fields for the username and password are part of a web page. This differs from Server Authentication, where a small dialog window appears and prompts you to enter the username and password.


WebSite-Watcher supports a feature called Check-Macros, which can automate steps and operations on a page. For example, you can record the steps required to log in to a page, navigate to the page that you want to monitor, and perform a Logout afterward. When the Bookmark is checked, these recorded steps are executed automatically.


Check-Macros can also be used to automate search queries, for example by entering a search term and clicking a search button.


Please note that it is not possible to automate all types of logins and login steps. This depends on the technology used on the page.
