3 Cypress auth tests you need in CI (Session, Lockout, Reset)

Most auth bugs don't happen on the login page. They happen after login: session expiry loops, lockouts, and messy retries. I'm Viola Lykova, Software Engineer and Cypress Ambassador, and in this video I walk through 3 auth tests your CI actually needs.

In this video I walk through 3 CI-stable Cypress tests that catch real auth failures:
1) Session expiry redirect (no loops)
2) Rate limiting / lockout behaviour
3) Reset flow failure with invalid or expired token
