#1 unhandled exception
Windows 10. getting unhandled exception when I use selected autotype to enter a site. I frequently use the URL in Keepass to launch the browser and then Selected autotype to enter the username and password. This failed after installing checkpassword box. Uninstalled problem went away. I've attached a png of the error and a text of the details.
Thanks for reporting this. Could you tell me which browser you are using, please? Does this only occur for one specific site, or for any site you try?
Can you confirm that the steps that reproduce the issue are to select an entry in KeePass, hit Ctrl+U to open it in the browser, then Alt+Tab to return to KeePass, finally Ctr+V to auto-type the selected entry? If different steps are required to trigger it, please let me know.
I disabled / uninstalled when it prevented me from doing Selected entry. No time now to re-install. I have no idea what website I went to and did not think that was a variable, but who knows?
I use Cliqz browser. Cliqz uses the open source of Firefox but is more secure and has better anti-tracking. Mozilla has invested in them. I would assume the same results from Firefox.
I use KeePass from the left screen. I double click on the url column to launch Cliqz on the right screen, (dual screens) but probably it was already running and it just opened a new tab. I have set CTRL-Alt-Q as the Selected auto-type hotkey (Being unused and above ctrl-alt-a). Normally and almost certainly I clicked in the username field of the website and then simply pressed Ctrl-alt-q. No need to switch back to Keepass or bring it up again. Keepass then does an autotype without needing focus to be put back on it or manually copy and paste.
I did an article on it here: https://steveshank.com/cgi-bin/article.pl?aid=722 which includes a link to a 3 minute demo showing you exactly how I use it.
If this isn't enough to help you find the issue, let me know and I'll re-install and then record results with different websites and different browsers, but that'll probably need to wait until the weekend.

I've tried to reproduce the issue using Cliqz browser on Windows 10, following the Auto-Type Selected hotkey method you describe, but it works fine for me. I am using https://keepass.info/help/kb/testform.html for testing.
Without being able to reproduce the crash locally I am quite limited in how much I can do about it, but I have used the exception details you sent to add protection against that case. In the same circumstances it should not now crash, although I suspect it may still not be able to detect if the box is a password box or not. If you get a chance to try it again, I've attached that experimental fix as v0.2 here.
