A way to import cookies? #281

Open JasonTable opened 3 months ago

JasonTable commented 3 months ago

I don't know if this feature exists already but i cant find it so i guess i will request it.

I would like the ability to import cookies manually for site logins. This would be really helpful for sites like FA that require users to do free labor for google each time they login. (recaptcha) that captcha system is also far more likely to give users deliberately annoying tasks to do for google if they think your browser fingerprint is weird which it will be when using an electron app.

One way around that i think is to allow users to log in with a normal web browser and copy over their cookies in a format such as b=65b04e28-5263-4f34-aafb-d9f666b45092; a=c7a398ac-4f01-4667-8778-148520e0aea2; (note this is not a valid session cookie) this would also let people using their existing login without doing the forced AI training for google again.

Why would you need that when postybirb under the hood uses browser, opens fa, lets you login, and then extracts cookies by yourself?

no offense. but i think you might have missed the point. the idea is to not have to login again. so i can use my existing session. i think it would be nice as some kind of advanced mode feature.
