# Authentication and Session Testing
## Purpose
Test the entire account and session lifecycle as a state machine, not just login. Every lifecycle transition (register, verify, login, MFA, reset, recovery, email change, role change, logout) is a boundary where revocation, binding, or downgrade logic is forgotten.
## Entry Conditions
- The target has any account lifecycle: signup, login, password reset, MFA, profile/email change, or log-out-other-sessions features
- You hold at least one valid account (ideally two, plus control of a second email address)
## Step 0: Find the REAL Session Token
Apps set many cookies (analytics, CSRF, consent). Delete cookies one at a time and re-request a protected page - the one whose removal logs you out is the session token. Test only that one for the flaws below.
