Are there some events that can be trapped and/or pages scraped to auto log onto Office 365 OutLook, mail in particular?

Hi,
The short answer is no, at least not reliably.
One of most important design consideration for online systems like Office 365 is security. This includes measures to prevent bot logins. Such measures often include CAPTCHA and 2 factor authentication. When 2 factor authentication is enabled on the account, there is no way for you to auto login because you do not have access/control to the second authentication factor. On top of this, MS can change the entire authentication flow anytime, which means even if somehow you figured out a way to automate it today it can stop working tomorrow.
Having that said, all such services have a “stay signed in” option so that user don’t have to sign in every single time. In such case the sign in result is saved locally (typically as cookies) for a period of time. So it is possible for you to manually sign in once, choose “Stay signed in” option, then keep the entire browser engine cache path and next time you will be automatically signed in. Once again, this does not automate the first sign in.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!

My short answer, that is what I was expecting. :-)
We use the wrapper for certain browsing experiences. All the affected email accounts are highly curated by corporate. Nothing from the outside can get to them and nothing from the inside can get out. Without any testing to know for sure, I was hoping certs would work for 1 factor. For the 2nd factor, I was going to look at passkey. I played with the "Stay signed in".
Anyway, thanks for your time.
