Auto Type provides a means for users to
easily and quickly
enter user name and password information. With a single click, the user
name and password are entered and the data is submitted to the host for
approval. By default, the formula followed by the automated keystrokes
is as follows: the user name, followed by a tab key, followed by the
password, another tab, and then the enter key (usernameTABpasswordTAB ENTER). This works fine for most web sites that require username/password authentication.
For web sites or applications that require different data, it is possible to
tailor the autotype behaviour as described in the Customizing Auto Type
section below.
Using Auto Type
Place cursor in the form's user name field
Maximize or open Password Safe
Select a password entry
Ctrl -T or right-click and select Perform
Auto Type to or click on the Toolbar button to initiate.
Customizing
Auto Type
For web sites or applications that do not have the username field followed by
the
password field followed by the login button, you can modify the
behaviour by filling in the "Autotype" field with text that
specifies the desired behavior as follows:
\u
is replaced by the username associated with the entry.
\p
is replaced by the password associated with the entry.
\t
is replaced by the Tab key, in effect skipping a field.
\n
is replaced by the enter key, in effect pressing a button.
\\
is replaced by the backslash (\) key.
\dNNN
sets the delay between characters to NNN milliseconds,
instead of 10 (the default). Note that you can string together a number of the \d commands. For example, \d999\d999\d999\d010 gives you 3 seconds delay. The \d command both sets the character delay and also does a delay on its own.
All other text is typed as-is.
Example:
The following can be used where the bank account number (12345) must be
entered before the user and password:
