    Hello,

    I can Tab to the password field when I am on the site but not when using LCtl-LAlt-A.  My coding {HOME}+{END}{USERNAME}{TAB}{HOME}+{END}{PASSWORD}{ENTER} has worked fine for quite a while.  It worked fine yesterday.  Same results on test site http://keepass.info/help/kb/testform.html.  Puts both in Username field.  What can I check?

    Thanks

    Change back to the default Auto-Type routine and test.
    Change {HOME}+{END} to ^a
    Add a delay to the beginning, {DELAY=50}

    cheers, Paul

    Works the same.  I changed for that one site, not globally.
    OLD
    {HOME}+{END}{USERNAME}{TAB}{HOME}+{END}{PASSWORD}{ENTER}
    NEW
    {DELAY=50}^a{USERNAME}{TAB}^a{PASSWORD}

    The instruction to TAB is ignored.  All is typed in the User Name.

    I can press the Tab key on the page http://keepass.info/help/kb/testform.html and it works fine.

    What I also tried
    Added two {TAB} commands where there was 1
    Removed any cached entries
    User name = Tester
    Password = TesterPwd

    Thanks.

    Have you loaded any new software?
    Patched Windows?
    Have you tried a different browser?

    cheers, Paul

    Patched Windows? Probably - as needed/not auto

    Have you tried a different browser? FireFox - latest version - it seems to be browser-related but KeePass test page still doesn't work

    I "could" reload but was hoping not to do that.  Ugh!

    Nothing obvious, but it could be anything that changes the keyboard handler.
    Try an Auto-Type into Notepad to eliminate the browser issue.

    cheers, Paul

    Paul,

    Good call.  Not a browser issue.

    After reading , here's my results.

    TestingPassword

    is what is displayed

    I figure it should be

    Testing TestingPassword (figure the space was caused by Tab)

    Oh.  Arcamax site I mentioned previously now works!

    Again, on your test site I can Tab as needed.

    So what can change the keyboard handler or do you have something else I can try?

    One thing I haven't tried is reinstalling Keepass.

    Thanks.

    KeePass uses .NET calls to send keystrokes to programs. If .NET is playing up that can cause problems.
    To test this load the ZIP version of KeePass V1 and try an Auto-Type - V1 does not use .NET.
    If this works you could try the RDCAutoType plug-in.

    cheers, Paul

    Paul,

    Results with KP V1
    TestingTestingPassword

    Interesting.  I removed and reinstalled .NET (through updates), wondering if it could be the culprit.

    I assume the link you sent me is for 2.20.1.  I'll look into this next.  If this fixes, cool.  If not, how (if you know) do I let Microsoft know?

    Thanks!

    Same as before in Notepad
    TestingPassword

    Do I need to complain to Microsoft (somehow)?

    Thanks for all your help too.

    Did it work with V1? I can't tell from your post.

    I doubt MS will be interested in our little problem. It also doesn't help that it works for most people, just not for you.

    cheers, Paul

    Paul,

    V1 worked in Notepad.  Still not on websites.  Sorry my reading didn't point out that troubleshooting process earlier.

    HOLD THE PRESSES!

    I feel I'm onto something.  Been using PhraseExpress for a while now.  Went from v8 to v9Beta (a few weeks ago) and "thought" I was ok.  I will let them know the issues I've had.  (Grrr)

    Remove PE and both 2.20 and V1 of Keepass work fine.  Add it back in, 2 and V1 don't work in web browser but V1 works in Notepad.

    Arcamax site working again too.  :-)

    Thanks again Paul for your help and patience with me working through all this confusion.  I will try to Pay It Forward.

    Paul,

    Thanks.  Seem to be all better now.  When you said "keyboard handler", it didn't dawn on me to look at the one program I have that I use to help me do that.  Geesh!!  I've been using it for a few months and KeePass much longer.  I guess the Beta version I tried was configured in a way that "broke" my old standby.

    Appreciate all your help and patience with me.

    Have a good day!!
