    I want that the sourceforge login only accepts autotype of the sourceforge Entry.

    Any other Entry should not be possible to autotype into the sourceforge login.

    Other Entries should be autotyped into any other window.

    Is this possible?

    The full window title of the sourceforge login on is SourceForge.net: Log In to SourceForge.net. Use this as the KeePass entry title.

    To use: Make sure that your cursor is in the username field then press the global auto-type hot key (default key Ctrl+Alt+A) to initiate auto-type.

    Use this technique on all your KeePass entries. You may also need to adjust the entry's default auto-type sequence to conform to the requirements of login page. For example you may need to include keystroke sequences that also type a second factor, or you may need to add tabs to navigate between the username and password fields.


    There are variations on this approach that you may prefer.

    If you plan to use any of the above techniques widely in KeePass, you can disable An entry matches if its title is contained in the target window title in Tools>Advanced [tab]>Auto-Type [section]. Then create all of your auto-type sequences in the Auto-Type tab on the Entry's Add/Edit Entry dialog. This frees each Entry's Entry Title field to contain more user friendly names.
