To make Autotype even better, there is Global Autotype. With this sequence, most web forms will get submitted correctly. The default sequence is, MacPass will type the username in the input field then tab will get sent to switch to the password input, MacPass then will send keystrokes to type the password and then an Enter stroke. The Autotype sequence is a string of commands that get evaluated when the sequence is performed. That way you can change the sequence for all entries inside a group or just a single entry.

If you need a custom sequence, you can add one to any entry or group. An entry inherits from its group, a group from its parent group and the root group derives its default sequence from the application. MacPass then will activate the last application and send the keystroke sequence defined by the Autotype sequence for the selected entry.īy default, no group nor entry has an Autotype sequence, instead it inherits its sequence from its parent. For example, you can use Autotype to enter your username and password in the App Store app but also on Autotype is invoked by clicking Perform Autotype in the context menu for an entry or invoking it via keyboard shortcut (default ⌘ + T).

This concept makes it possible to enter account credentials in web forms, type passwords into terminals or enter text into an input of virtually any application. AutotypeĪutotype simulates keystrokes to enter text into applications. Autotype and Global Autotype are two important features of KeePass and MacPass.
