    Yama - 2014-08-05

    I'm using KeePass for a while now and I want to use the Truecrypt plugins in the future.
    I tried to automate Auto-Type for tools which require logins, like Steam, QIP (multi IM) and would like to add more as it works like I want to.

    My idea is to avoid any tool to save any password, so only KeePass is the tool which has my passwords stored.

    So Steam, QIP, mIRC etc should ask for passwords on start.
    All the tools are on startup, KeePass, too.

    After I unlock my KeePass-Database, I want that KeePass go through the tools where I enabled Auto-Type and type in the Logindata (I set KeePass already to minimize to tray after DB-Unlock).
    I tried with Triggers but it didn't worked.
    Single Auto-Type via shortcut hotkey works as intended.

    Is there a chance to have automated Auto-Type on Database-Unlock?

    Is there a chance to have automated Auto-Type on Database-Unlock?

    No.

    Auto-type requires the user to initiate an application login by using one of the Auto-Type hot keys (after verifying the cursor is in the correct location). It can not be automated further. There are form filling plugins that help automate login once an individual site is opened and the webpage has the focus, but it sounds like you want to automatically login in to multiple sites.

    Perhaps a scripting language like Auto-it can help...

    KPScript can extract user name and password which you can use on a command line.

    Thank you for the answers.
    KPScript doesn't sounds like to be capable of what I need and I would have to store my master-password as plain text.
    Maybe if I execute KPScript with Auto-It, there would be a chance to get it automated, but would be a big mess.

    Thanks.
