## Auto Type

Auto Typeprovides a means for users to easily and quickly enter user name and password information. With a single click, the user name, and password are entered and the form submitted to the host for approval. By default, the formula followed by the automated keystrokes is as follows: the user name, followed by a tab key, followed by the password, another tab, and then the enter key (username TAB password TAB ENTER).

Most, though not all, web forms will operate with the Auto Type feature. For those that don't, it is possible to tailor the autotype behaviour as described in the Customizing Auto Type section below.

### Using Auto Type

1. Place cursor in the form's user name field
2. Maximize or open Password Safe
3. Select a password entry
4. Ctrl -T or right-click and select Perform Auto Type to initiate.

### Customizing Auto Type

For web sites that do not have the username field followed by the password field followed by the login button, you can modify the behaviour by adding "autotype:" in an entry's Notes field, followed by a string that specifies the desired behavior as follows:

- \u is replaced by the username associated with the entry.
- \p is replaced by the password associated with the entry.
- \t is replaced by the Tab key, in effect skipping a field.
- \n is replaced by the enter key, in effect pressing a button.
- \\ is replaced by the backslash (\) key.
- \dNNN sets the delay between characters to NNN milliseconds, instead of 10 (the default).
- All other text is typed as-is.

Example: The following can be used where the bank account number (12345) must be entered before the user and password:
autotype:12345\t\u\t\p\t\n
