Auto-type username and password on separate screens

Hi,
Discovered KeePass some times ago, a very powerful tool that I used @ work until now (very helpful as I'm working in IT services for an external company that is also using an O365 system, which credentials I can't save locally, otherwise it messes with my own O365 credentials...).
But my AV expired, and as I didn't renew it, I had to change the password manager at home.
As I'm a fan of KeePass' hotkey (what?! I, lazy? Noooooo :)), I decided to import the passwords using the native CSV importer and... voilà.
Well, I have a question on the autotype (sorry for being so talkative): I was trying in vain, is it anyway possible to have anauto-type sequence if the username and the password for a site are being entered on two separate screens (example Yahoo)?
Thanks in advance for the help!
KewPass can replicate any string of characters that you can type.
The problem you wlil find is that KeePass will type the username and will then start typing the password immediately. It does not wait for the second screen to load and will have finished typing before the second page is ready to accept the data.
I presume you have found where to edit the autotype strings.
The solution is to simply insert a {DELAY X} inbetween the {username} and {password} autotype entries.
X is the number of milliseconds delay, i.e. a value of 1000 = 1 second, and is a good place to start. It may be necessary to experiment a bit.
Thanks, but it seems that I should still keep {ENTER}, because with only the {DELAY X} inbetwwen thge USERNAME and the PASSWORD, it simply waits before entering the password.
EDIT: no, it even doesn't work with {ENTER}.

Yes. You need to put Enter in if the login sequence needs it. I should have mentioned that.
Did you put the Enter before the delay?
You need to manually test out the characters you enter.
you cna mess around with delay or you cane use this gloryies plugin that lets you set up mutiple global hotskeys( one for username and one for passwrd)

its brilliant its what i always wanted alternate autotype plugin to be
Ahhh yes, thx again, put wrongly {ENTER} after the {DELAY X}, it works indde much better when the {ENTER] is set before the {DELAY X} :D!
