## Review summary

Users appreciate TUfast for automating logins across key university platforms, preventing automatic logouts (notably in OPAL), and consolidating important sites into an efficient, easy-to-use interface. The add-on functions quickly and reliably, making it a favorite among TUD students. However, several users note that since the introduction of two-factor authentication, the app does not automate token entry, and adding such a feature would be a valuable improvement.

### Pros

- Automates login processes for multiple platforms like Selma, OPAL, and ZIH, saving time and effort.
- Prevents automatic logout issues, especially on OPAL, enhancing user convenience.
- Provides a clean, organized interface consolidating important sites in one place.
- Works quickly and reliably, improving the browsing experience for users.
- Highly appreciated by TUD students for its usefulness and efficiency.

### Cons

- Does not automate two-factor authentication (2FA) token entry, requiring manual input.
- Lacks integration with authenticators for automating 2FA, which users see as a desirable feature.
