    Using KeePass 2.

    The online banking portal of the bank I'm using to manage my finances has several fields on its login page:

    • branch ID - a 3-digits number for the branch my account belongs to
    • account number - a 6-digits number for the account I want to log into
    • sub-account number - a 2-digits number for the sub-account (active, savings etc.) I want to check
    • password

    I can use the {USERNAME} for the account number and the {PASSWORD} for the password but the rest is something that I don't normally need to change so I would like to still insert it but as a constant custom string. Something like

    {123}{TAB}{USERNAME}{TAB}{12}{TAB}{PASSWORD}{ENTER}

    Is there a way to do that? I looked at the help page with a bunch of tables listing all placeholders but nothing really struck me as the thing I need to accomplish this.

    Custom fields are already supported. Create a custom string field in the Advanced tab in the Add/Edit Entry dialog. Use a placeholder of the form {S:custom field name} to use the custom field in an auto-type keystroke sequence.

    For example if you regualarly use a form in your financial account that requires that you enter your account number, create a custom field in the entry called 'account number' , then create a an auto-type that uses the keystroke sequence: {S:account number}{ENTER}

    Tip: The KPEnhancedEntryView plugin implements convenient methods to to create, manage, and use custom string fields.
