Playwright provides a way to reuse the signed-in state in the tests. That way you can log
in only once and then skip the log in step for all of the tests.
Web apps use cookie-based or token-based authentication, where authenticated state is stored as [cookies](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Cookies) or in [local storage](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Storage). Playwright provides [`method: BrowserContext.storageState`] method that can be used to retrieve storage state from authenticated contexts and then create new contexts with prepopulated state.

Cookies and local storage state can be used across different browsers. They depend on your application's authentication model: some apps might require both cookies and local storage.

The following code snippet retrieves state from an authenticated context and creates a new context with that state.

### Session storage
Reusing authenticated state covers [cookies](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Cookies) and [local storage](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Storage) based authentication. Rarely, [session storage](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/sessionStorage) is used for storing information associated with the signed-in state. Session storage is specific to a particular domain and is not persisted across page loads. Playwright does not provide API to persist session storage, but the following snippet can be used to save/load session storage.
