Both sets of credentials have AutoType setup to key on the Window Title of “Enter Password”, as they must. And you’ve setup AutoType for both.īut there’s the rub. This means you likely have two different sets of credentials stored in KeePass: one for Quicken and one for Exodus. If you’re “responsible” with you passwords, and we all are as KeePass users (right?!), then you’re not using the same credentials (username and password) for two different applications. It’s almost like magic!Įditing An AutoType Entry in KeePass Trouble Aheadīut, what happens when there are 2 or more credential sets that have the same Window Title?įor instance, both Quicken and Exodus request the user to login via a login screen with the Window Title “Enter Password”. When only one configured Window Title matches the Window Title of the target window, KeePass automatically can choose that single set of credentials, and perform the autotype.

KeePass’s AutoType feature works by allowing the user to enter one or more “Window Titles”, which it then compares against the target window when you user presses the AutoType hotkey. The AutoType support, while possibly not quite as simple as some full commercial packages, is quite flexible and has never let me down. Excellent, simple, clean install, low resource usage and fast.

I’ve used the password manager KeePass for a very long time.

If everything is set right, KeePass will now automatically select the appropriate credentials for the target window using both the Window Title and the application executable. Now open your target application and use AutoType as you normally would.

Edit the AutoType entry for a credential set that has an ambiguous Window Title.

In KeePass, click “Tools”, “Plugins” and verify that The Disambiguator is now in the list of loaded plugins.

You should see a “Compiling Plugins” notice and then KeePass should start normally.

Unzip it and place the PLGX file in the KeePass “Plugins” folder, just like any other plugin.

Download The Disambiguator KeePass plugin here.
