#2243 Auto-Type sequence creating space in password field

[lithesh]

Dear team,

I'm trying to login to an URL page with Keypass 2 and I'm facing below issues.
I've added the required details: "Username", "Password", "URL link" and
Auto-type sequence: {USERNAME} {TAB} {TAB} {ENTER} {DELAY 2000} (Password} {TAB} {TAB} {ENTER}

1. while pressing on Ctrl + U the URL is opening on a specified browser (chrome incog) but the auto type sequence is not initiating. for which I'll have to again press Ctrl+ V in Keypass2

2. while initiating the Auto-Type sequence as mentioned above, the sequence is correct, but at the end the URL login page says incorrect password. I've also tried initiating the Auto-Type sequence to notepad and I've noticed that after entering the password it is adding space (eg: Password is "Alfa@123" and the password enteredy by Auto-Type sequence is "Alfa@123 ")

Can you please check?

Thanks,
Lithesh

KeePass does not add random spaces to an Auto-Type sequence.

Are you sure you have not added a space in the sequence?
Can you copy the sequence from your entry and paste it here?

cheers, Paul

1. See https://keepass.info/help/base/autotype.html.
2. The auto-type sequence in the initial post contains spaces between the placeholders/commands. Remove them, if you don't want them to be sent.

Best regards,
Dominik

Alfa@xyz.net
Alfa@123

Here is the user Id and password from Keypass2 Auto-Type. Attached is the screen print where you can see there are no spaces in the password field.

Auto-Type sequence: {USERNAME} {TAB} {TAB} {ENTER} {DELAY 2000} {Password} {DELAY 2000} {TAB} {TAB} {ENTER}

Your Keystroke sequence shown below is incorrect. It contains spaces between every placeholder. Auto-type sends these spaces to the login page. Your auto-type keystroke sequence as posted will send a total of 4 spaces as part of the password (two leading spaces and 2 trailing spaces). To fix, remove all the spaces in the auto-type keystroke sequence.

{USERNAME} {TAB} {TAB} {ENTER} {DELAY 2000} {Password} {DELAY 2000} {TAB} {TAB} {ENTER}

If you actually need a space to be sent use the {SPACE} placeholder to improve clarity.

while pressing on Ctrl + U the URL is opening on a specified browser (chrome incog) but the auto type sequence is not initiating.

That is the correct behavior. Ctrl+U does not initiate auto-type. It only opens the web page using the URL stored in the entry's URL page. Opening a web page and auto-typing into a web page are always separate operations in native KeePass.

For more information about auto-type see the documentation cited in the previous post above.

Thanks, this is resolved.
