Managing steps in a recorded login - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger's Burp Scanner documentation describes how users can view and manage individual steps in a recorded login sequence through a Steps tab, rather than editing the entire JSON script. Each step shows an action type and summary, and Click, Type, and Key press steps require a selector type - ID, Name, Link href, Text content, Text nodes, or XPath - with ID given the highest priority and XPath the lowest.
Key Takeaway: The scanner locates login form elements by priority order, so a single misconfigured selector on a Click or Type step can break authentication for the whole scan - and managing steps requires View site application login details and Edit site application logins permissions.
