Test a standard username/password HTML form.
Test errors submitting invalid data.
Test unauthenticated redirects.
Authenticate users with cookies.
Create a custom cy.login() test command.
Bypass needing to use your actual UI.
Increase speed of testing with cy.request().

You should be able to log in with username "jane.lane" and password "password123".
