How are folks using “computer use” to click things on intranet portals that are behind an SSO? Even this OP example shows visitors a url and enter this search term… that is port of useless.

How can I automate things behind an SSO wall? Even if it means I manually authorize it once and watch it do things on its own..

I've never used Gemini computer use, but I assume it's the same:

Claude computer use takes control of your whole computer inputs (mouse and keyboard) plus screenshots. You just log in, tell Claude you're logged in, and let it get to work. It'll use the browser you're logged in with.

The chrome extension is a little better because it only takes control of its own chrome tabs (again: you just log in.)

Take manual control once, save the login info to a password manager, teach the model to login with it.
