# Email-Based Authentication Testing
|
||
|
||
- Use services like Mailosaur or in-house SMTP capture; extract magic links via regex or HTML parsing helpers.
|
||
- Preserve browser storage (local/session) when processing links—restore state before visiting the authenticated page.
|
||
- Cache email payloads with `cypress-data-session` or equivalent so retries don’t exhaust inbox quotas.
|
||
- Cover negative cases: expired links, reused links, and multiple requests in rapid succession.
|
||
- Ensure the workflow logs the email ID and link for troubleshooting, but scrub PII before committing artifacts.
