- Automate tasks on churchofjesuschrist.org and LCR (Leader & Clerk Resources). Use when logging into LDS church accounts, looking up ward/stake rosters, managing callings, viewing temple recommend status, accessing the member directory, or any other LCR/church website automation. Covers OAuth login flow, session management, and key church service URLs.
Church Account (LDS/LCR)
Automate login and tasks on churchofjesuschrist.org.
Login
OAuth Flow
The church uses OAuth via id.churchofjesuschrist.org. Any protected page redirects to login:
- Enter username → click Next
- Enter password → click Verify
- Redirects back to target page with session cookies
No MFA or CAPTCHA is typically required. Playwright + playwright-stealth handles it cleanly.
Credentials
Store in a password vault or environment variables:
- Username (church account email or membership ID)
- Password

After login, use saved storage state to skip re-authentication:
context = await browser.new_context(
storage_state="/tmp/church_cookies_state.json",
viewport={"width": 1920, "height": 1080},
user_agent="Mozilla/5.0 ..."
)
page = await context.new_page()
