Connect to a login network for wifi

I am currently travelling and has been given an ip address where I login with a username and password. How would I get the sharkopenspot 2 to login?
I suspect the same would be the case at Antarctica, where I am heading to.

Use the SharkRF link you can install on your phone too.

Many rhanks. Unfortunately only coms is through wireless network where you have to login with cabin number and password. When the phone connects, it cannot be a hotspot as well.

Have you tried the Mac ID cloning ? After log in with iPhone or laptop ?
Warning....not really for the faint at heart......
but I think that’s what it’s purpose was ?
MAC settings
This section is only available if Advanced mode is enabled.
You can change/clone the Wi-Fi MAC address of the openSPOT2 here. This is useful if you try to use a Wi-Fi network which uses a captive portal for authentication (example: hotel or airport networks). In this case, do the following steps:
Connect to the Wi-Fi network with your phone/tablet/computer, log in on the captive portal to enable the internet access for your phone/tablet/computer's MAC address.
Switch the openSPOT2 to access point (AP) mode by holding the button for 3 seconds.
Connect your phone/tablet/computer to the openSPOT2 AP, but exit the Initialization setup and open the Network page.
Set the captive portal Wi-Fi network's SSID and key at the Wireless settings section.
Click on the Clone button at the MAC settings section (make sure Advanced mode is enabled so the MAC settings section is visible).
Switch the openSPOT2 back to normal mode by holding the button for 3 seconds, or by clicking the Switch wireless mode button at the top of the Network page. The openSPOT2 will connect to the captive portal Wi-Fi network with your phone/tablet/computer's already logged in MAC address.
Please keep in mind that MAC cloning may cause packet loss and the network connection of both devices may get periodically interrupted.

Morning and thanks for the assistance. Unfortunately that also does not work. The limit the login to a single login, if I had to get it right to get the OS2 on, I would not be able to get onto the same network to manage it (Sharkrf link). I suppose that I would have to leave it, unless someone has been through a similar exercise. Many Thanks.
