For instructions, read the article [Install the Cerby browser extension](https://help.cerby.com/cerby-browser-extension/installation/install-the-cerby-browser-extension). {% endhint %} To log in to an account automatically using the Cerby web app, you must complete the following steps: 1. Log in to your [Cerby](https://app.cerby.com/) workspace. 2. Hover the mouse over the corresponding account card. Multiple icons and the **Log in** button are displayed. 3. Click the **Log in** button. Cerby opens a new browser tab and runs the automated login. {% hint style="info" %} **NOTE:** Cerby does its best to autofill your login credentials for [self-managed accounts](https://help.cerby.com/getting-started/concepts/credential-management/accounts#h-079d120056). Successful login attempts depend on having the correct login URL and on how complex the app’s user interface is. If you would like us to support a specific app or service provider, please send your request via email to the Customer Support team at . {% endhint %} Now you are done. *** ## What to expect based on your account Automatic login behaves differently depending on your account type, MFA setup, and workspace configuration. Consider the following: * Accounts without a login URL, such as apps you access locally instead of through a website, don't support automatic login. Log in to these apps directly instead. * If you click **Log in** without having the Cerby browser extension installed, Cerby prompts you to install it. * If your account has MFA on and managed by Cerby through a Cerby-managed email address or phone number, Cerby fills in the verification code automatically. * If your account has MFA on through Cerby Auth and requires your approval, Cerby prompts you to approve a push notification before it fills in the verification code. * As a **Collaborator** on a shared account, you can log in automatically the same way as the account **Owner**. * If you deleted an account, you must restore it before you can log in to it automatically. Read the article [Restore a deleted account](/cerby-web-app/accounts/managing-your-accounts/restore-a-deleted-account.md). * Hiding an account from your dashboard doesn't affect whether you can log in to it. You can still log in automatically to accounts you've hidden. * If your account uses a passkey to log in, automatic login doesn't use the passkey. Read the article [Log in to an account with a passkey](https://help.cerby.com/cerby-browser-extension/accounts/passkeys/log-in-to-an-account-with-a-passkey) to learn more. * If your account is linked to a business hub configured with single sign-on (SSO), clicking **Log in** takes you directly to the SSO login page instead of running the automated login. Read the article [Log in to your app](/cerby-web-app/business-hubs/log-in-to-your-app.md) to learn more about business hub accounts. {% hint style="info" %} **NOTE:** If Cerby shows a banner saying your browser extension session doesn't match your Cerby web app session, log out and log back in to your workspace. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://help.cerby.com/cerby-web-app/accounts/accessing-your-accounts/log-in-to-an-account-automatically.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
