Quick Login with AutoHotkey

In this post I share a AutoHotkey script for quickly logging in.

I had some troubles last week to log in (single-sign-on wasn't working) and came to adapt my AutoHotkey TextExpander script that already contains a hotkey for typing my password, to also fill in the login form (username and password)

This is very simple and looks like this:

!l:: ; <--- Login

Clip_Paste(A_UserName)

SendInput {Tab}

sPassword := Login_GetPassword()

Clip_Paste(sPassword)

SendInput {Enter}

return

The Login_GetPassword function looks like this:

; ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Login_GetPassword(){

static sPassword

If !(sPassword = "")

    return sPassword

InputBox, sPassword, Password, Enter Password for Login, Hide, 200, 125

If ErrorLevel

    return

return sPassword

}

This simply paste the username (take from the environment variable A_UserName) , Tab and paste the Password followed by ENTER.

Clip_Paste function is available in the ahk/Lib/Clip.ahk
