login() method hasn't worked since 4.7.2 or 4.7.3

Starting a new topic about this, because it seems that https://sourceforge.net/p/adminer/discussion/960418/thread/0ebcd89548/ is perhaps discussing two different things.

But the point to this new topic is that I used to be able to:

$_GET['username'] = '';

function credentials() {
        return array($this->server, $this->name, $this->pass);
}

function login() {
        return true;
}

but now I am stuck with hacking with JS to submit the login form, eg:

addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
          document.forms[0].submit();
});

Is there any way we can get back the ability to automatically login without that form submit hack please?

You can set a session variable or a cookie with the encrypted password. I'm not going to describe it here but look at what's Adminer doing (search for encrypt_string) and try to mimic it before including Adminer.
