## Auto Type

Auto Type provides 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 data is 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). This works fine for most web sites that require username/password authentication.

For web sites or applications that require different data, 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 or click on the Toolbar button to initiate.

### Customizing Auto Type

For web sites or applications that do not have the username field followed by the password field followed by the login button, you can modify the behaviour by filling in the "Autotype" field with text 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).

  Note that you can string together a number of the \d commands. For example, \d999\d999\d999\d010 gives you 3 seconds delay. The \d command both sets the character delay and also does a delay on its own.

- 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:
12345\t\u\t\p\t\n

Notes: By default, the Autotype field is not displayed in the Add or Edit dialog boxes. To access the Autotype field, you may have to click on the "More>>" button in the dialog box.
If you are having problems with autotype, you might want to disable 3rd-party popup-blockers. Users have reported problems with the interaction of popup-blockers with the autotype functionality.
