Scraping data from password protected sites

Can you scrape data using this tool from password protected websites? If so, what are the extra steps you need to take in order to enter login information?

It all depends on a particular website.

You can use autofill data (login+password being automatically filled), and a click selector to enter a website, then you can build rest of your selectors.

Most of the websites that require a login and password will actually create a cookie so you won't need to login each time you enter it.

@iconoclast Within the Chrome extension, or within the Cloud Webscraper app, is there not an option to direct the app to input a username/password and pass the "I am not a robot" type checks? I don't think people can always rely on the cookie, and it might not even be relevant in the cloud app version - that I'm not sure of.
