Auto-Type: remember/highlight previously selected entry?

[sourcesearcher]

Is this somehow possible? If not, it would be a nice feature to have for the Entry Selection pop-up window. Currently, I think KeePass always highlights the first entry on the list, based on sorting.

This would make the process quicker for the frequent logins, allowing to just press enter to log in, instead of using the mouse or arrow keys.

If you want KeePass to auto-type credentials appropriate to a particular login page use the global auto-type hotkey (default key Ctrl+Alt+A).

another equally valid way to get KeePass to auto-type credentials appropriate to a particular login page is to use the "auto type selected record" feature of keepass.

To activate this feature you need to do the onetime setup work of going into
tools/options/intergration and define a keystroke you like to use for it such as ctrl+shift+A

The intent of the above option is your workflow is such that you start in keepass,
finds the desired keypass record and then use that record to launch into
the program or URL of interest.

The advantage of this method is you know with 100% certainty you are on valid site
and not on a spoofed site because you got to logon panel via your own keepass record
and did not get there because you followed some link in an email from a Nigerian Prince.

Thank you both, but I think you misunderstood my suggestion. I already use the Global Auto-Type Hot Key.

The question is, which one of the multiple entries (in case there are multiple entries, obviously) will be highlighted by default (not automatically selected) in the Auto-Type Entry Selection window.

Let's say you want to login to Yahoo mail, and you have 3 different login options after pressing the Global Auto-Type Hot Key. Which one will KP highlight by default? It seems it will always be the first one on the list. The suggestion is to highlight the one selected by the user, the previous time the/she logged in Y mail, using the same method.

You can define which entry will be the first entry in the "Auto-Type Entry Selection" dialog by arranging the unsorted relative order of the entries in the database so that the preferred entry occurs before the less preferred entries. Select View>Sort from the KeePass menu and check "No Sort", then right click on the preferred entry, select "Rearrange", and move the preferred entry to occur before the other Yahoo entries

Thank you wellread1, even if giving up sorting is a bit of a pain, that's an interesting solution/workaround.

I guess that what I'm asking would require KeePass to store "Last login time" information, and it might be considered an unwanted feature due to privacy reasons (rightly so, probably...).
