    browser.configure(
        # Note: screenshot="only-on-failure" is actually the default.
        # If the browser_automate() function finishes with an exception it will
        # make a screenshot and embed it into the logs.
        screenshot="only-on-failure",
        
        # By default headless is False unless running in a Linux container
        # without a DISPLAY/WAYLAND_DISPLAY environment variable, but it
        # can also be manually specified.
        headless=True,
        
        # Interactions may be run in slow-motion (given in milliseconds).
        slowmo=100,

def login():
    # APIs in robocorp.browser return the same browser instance, which is
