Hi
On many KeePass entries - if I would like to Auto-Type it on a website - it will not work in the latest weeks, it only fills the username by half like this "stefan.krapf@" instead of "stefan.krapf@synor.ch".
After that, the Auto-Type feature stopped to work, means that no password will be filled in... and no "enter" is sent...
What could be the problem?
I think that in the last older version it did work normally...
Thanks for your help
Stefan
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
years ago in prior version of windows a similar issue existed.
the work around back then was slow down the speed/cadence
which autotype spit characters into the target window
so it was not computer speed but rather to be more like human typing speed.
we changed autotype from
{UserName}{TAB}{Password}
to
{DELAY=40}{UserName}{TAB}{DELAY 500}{Password}
the are two "delay" params
the delay with the equal sign means
put a 40 milli second delay between every character autotyped.
the delay without the equal sign means
put a 500 milli second delay at that point in the autotype sequence.
Back then that solved the problem.
There was nothing magic about the characters being spit to the target window
but something about the speed which they were transmitted was the issue.
Don't know if this is your issue or not but its something to try.

Are you using the Edge browser? There seems to be an issue with it at the moment. See https://sourceforge.net/p/keepass/discussion/329220/thread/fd3a6776/#fd72.
