you reopen your browser and notice you have to log in to all Ugent-related tabs again.
This automates clicking "login" on every login screen.
This happens in the background, the extension will not move your mouse.

Auto login screens

The login portals you'd see when you're logged out.
All these login buttons will automatically be clicked.
TimeEdit
url: https://cloud.timeedit.net/*

Ufora
url: https://elosp.ugent.be/*

Microsoft
url: https://login.microsoftonline.com/*

The first @ugent.be account always gets chosen.

Manual exceptions

These are login screens that cannot be automated

Microsoft 2FA

Sometimes, after choosing your account, you'll have to use 2FA to log in again.
This is because your session token expired.
That can't be automated. And has to be done every once in a while.

after filling in the password, microsoft might ask for 2FA

This still requires manual work

no saved microsoft account

This means you don't have an account ready to be signed into.

=> log in to https://login.microsoftonline.com/ with your UGent account & make sure to "remember" the account.
