I am new to KeePass - so pls bear with me if this is a noob question.
I am trying to get KeePass to work with cPanel (for web hosts) which uses a htaccess popup window - i.e. when I enter the url for the cPanel, a little popup with username and password fields comes up. I don't have the direct url for that window, and the title is pretty general "Authentication Required".
Can someone pls tell me how I can go about creating a KeePass entry for this?
Thanks,
V
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The tried and tested methods involve the feature although that can sometimes get a bit complicated in situations like this. Which version of KeePass are you using? If it's 2.09 then you could try the "Auto type selected entry" feature which is typically executed by pressing a hotkey that you configure in Tools / Options / Integration. Before pressing that key combination you need to have KeePass logged in and have your cPanel KeePass entry selected.
The three main items you need in your cPanel entry are:
Title (it doesn't matter what this is if you use "auto-type selected entry")
Username
Password
If you are a Firefox user with KeePass 2.09 and are feeling adventurous, you could add the correct URL too and install the brand new Firefox add-on which is now ready for Beta testing. It will allow you to automatically fill (and optionally submit) your credentials without needing any keyboard shortcuts. If you're interested but aren't comfortable trying out beta software then you could subscribe to the on the (or monitor the website for changes in whatever way you prefer) - a final version will be released when it's ready (*maybe* in 6-9 months).
Thanks to both of you for your suggestions. I was able to do it using just KeePass itself. In the entry, I used "Use Custom Sequence for Specific Windows" and added the htaccess popup to that. It worked like a charm :)

You could also try KeeRun that comes with the KeeForm package. It alows allow you to automatically into applications like Yahoo messenger or Skype.
