[BUG][TESTING]: Playwright tests not updated to use admin email/password login credentials #2136
Description
🐞 Bug Summary
The existing Playwright tests have not been updated to use Admin Email and Admin Password as login credentials. The test fixtures still use outdated authentication methods, which prevents the UI tests from running successfully against the current authentication system.
Fixing the test fixtures is foundational to continuing UI testing efforts.
