Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the SDK's authentication documentation and current authentication entry points to determine whether FedAuth or rtFA browser cookies are supported. Done would require a maintainer-approved scope for development/prototyping authentication, with documented behavior and tests if the feature is accepted.

Description

enhancement

Hi, thanks for the wonderful lib!

Is it possible to authenticate using FedAuth or rtFA cookies exported from a browser for development/prototyping use cases?
