#2329 Additional Auto-Type for Password Only

[Brian]

Hi,

There are many sites now that remember your username and want just the password when relogging in. Say, when a session expires. Other times, if logged out explicitly, I still need the full username/password sequence.

Can you add a global hot-key for just sending the password for a matching entry? It wouldn't need any special sequence definitions like the main auto-type since that one has to be able navigate a form layout. This "password-only" hot-key would instead send just the password string without anything else (such as a [ENTER]).

Regards.
Brian

Create a new Auto-Type sequence for those entries that require just a password and KeePass will ask which sequence to use.

With the AutoTypeShow plugin you can assign a global hot-key to open KeePass with the preselected entry matching to the target window instead of auto-type.
Then you can fill the password or the username via drag-and-drop, or via clipboard, or via submenu 'Perform Auto-Type'.
Additionally you can perform auto-type for any field (incl. custom) and even for any custom sequence by using some triggers. See gif

It's not a hotkey, but you can add a submenu to the right-click menu that will allow you to select {PASSWORD} only, the standard {USERNAME}{TAB}{PASSWORD}{ENTER} (for entries changed from the standard default), or several other common non-default sequences. Go into Tools | Options, select the Interface tab, scroll down one line, to the bottom of the Main Window section, and check "Show additional auto-type menu commands". (This is the submenu that kibinimatik mentions above, but it doesn't appear unless you make this tweak in the settings.)

This is PERFECT! I like this option much better than having to remember another hotkey! Before long, I'll need a hotkey manager! :P

Another way is to use the CheckPasswordBox plugin.
Insert the {PASSWORDBOX} placeholder in the auto-type sequence before the {Password} placeholder, e,g. {Username}{Tab}{PasswordBox}{Password}{Enter}
Now if the password input field is focused, only subsequence {Password}{Enter} will be typed.

Added my vote, I would like to see an option to add a global hotkey to autotype both the username and password seperately.
