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 (username TAB password TAB 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. Note that you can also customize the default autotype text via the Misc. tab in the Options dialog box. This can be useful if, for example, the autotype is too fast for your machine.
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:
Example:
The following can be used where the bank account number (12345) must be
entered before the user and password:
12345\t\u\t\p\t\n
