Automating IDP Workflows with 2FA using Cypress & Mailosaur
summary
Shows a working Cypress setup that automates a third‑party IDP login with 2FA using the Mailosaur API, capturing CSRF tokens with cy.intercept, switching origins with cy.origin, and caching credentials with cy.session. Demo builds a custom getOTP command that calls Mailosaur getMessage, completes an ADP login in about 35 seconds, and saves roughly 40 minutes across 85 tests by restoring sessions across specs. The flow works reliably in CI with configurable timeouts.
