We recommend to create `playwright/.auth` directory and add it to your `.gitignore`. Your authentication routine will produce authenticated browser state and save it to a file in this `playwright/.auth` directory. Later on, tests will reuse this state and start already authenticated.

We strongly discourage checking them into private or public repositories.
