KeePass Auto-Type Feature

What is Auto-Type?

Auto-Type is a powerful KeePass feature that automatically fills login forms by simulating keyboard input. Instead of manually copying and pasting passwords, you can use a keyboard shortcut to automatically enter your username and password into any application or website.

How to Use Auto-Type

  1. Open the application or website where you want to log in
  2. Click in the username field
  3. Switch to KeePass and select the entry you want to use
  4. Press Ctrl+Alt+A (default shortcut) or use the Auto-Type button
  5. KeePass will automatically fill in your credentials

Customizing Auto-Type Sequences

You can customize the Auto-Type sequence for each entry. The default sequence is: {USERNAME}{TAB}{PASSWORD}{ENTER}

You can modify this to match different login forms. For example, some forms require you to press Tab twice, or some might need you to click a button after entering the password.
