Keepassxc: Entering the password in auto-type with keyboard results in an error

[MisterY]

Expected Behavior

Entering a password into a web site, for example, should behave the same whether the entry in the list at the auto-type window was selected by keyboard or by mouse.

Current Behavior

If an entry is selected via keyboard and Enter is pressed, most sites return an error with invalid login.
If the same entry is selected via mouse, the login proceeds correctly.

Possible Solution

Not sure. I guess this is a bug but requires a further confirmation.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Get to a web site that requires log-in
2. Press the auto-type hotkey combination
3. Select an entry with keyboard (up/down) and press Enter

Context

Not moving a hand from keyboard to select an entry should work equally well.

OK, this does not happen on every site but I did notice it a few times so far.

It happens every time on the following site(s):

• https://trader.degiro.nl/login/#/login

It's probably because the site is doing some stupid JavaScript trickery when you submit the form that the autotyping is not triggering.

I have the same problem, e.g. with github, too. No such problem with the original KeePass or the Mac port of it.

[droidmonkey]

I cannot reproduce this, even on the degiro.nl website. When I click the eye icon, the full password has been entered by autotype, no issues. If you keep having issues you can add a small delay between {TAB} and {PASSWORD} such as {DELAY=100}

[MisterY]

Yes, I guess it's been working for some time now, for whatever reason. :)

I am having a somehow similar problem, don't know if it is the same or not.
The solution from @droidmonkey [1] does not fix it for me.

Steps to reproduce (for me)

• find a form you know does not have "fancy JS". I use this one because it tells you what you just typed: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_input_type_password
• use auto-type (either by clicking on autotype button in KeePassXC or by typing Ctrl-V)
• I used it with the following dummy entry: [email protected] : testpassword
• the form tells me it received: [email protected]&pwd=testpass, that is it only received the beginning of the password
• same thing happens with other, non-dummy passwords.
• same thing happens if I increase "auto-type typing delay" to 40 ms and also if if follow @droidmonkey suggestion to set the custom auto-type sequence to {USERNAME}{TAB}{DELAY=100}{PASSWORD}{ENTER}

Lol look closely....

<input type="password" name="pwd" maxlength="8">

[cedricvanrompay]

Damnit.

Okay, then now it seems to work. I used to have "incorrect password" problems frequently on websites so I stopped using the "auto-type feature", but I will start using it again and come back to you if it comes back.

Sorry for doing such a bad job at bug reporting :'-(
