Playwright is a headless browser automation framework. It lets you script browser actions in an offscreen window, simulating user activity in a real browser. It's not really the issue here though. If you want to capture real user auth and requests, you have to man in the middle them somehow. A Chrome extension is probably the easiest to do that, in terms of UX, because you can interact with the university website directly and intercept its requests. A third party website is subject to XSS protections so your user will have to jump through hoops.
