Need help with creating a script file for automatic login
I'm looking for a simple way to enter my login information on a couple of sites that I frequent without the hassle of manually typing my username/password each time. I access these sites several times a day but am required to log in each time, which has become cumbersome. I know there is a way to create a script file that will perform this automatically for me, but after a bit of googling haven't been able to pin down what I'm looking for.

I'm using Windows. My pc is located in my home with no one else having access...so the usualy security concerns with this kind of scenario don't apply. Just looking for a simple, speedy solution so that I can avoid the constant need of having to manually enter my login information.

Anybody out there know how to do this?

This is true. But for some reason it doesn't work with all sites.

Either FF or IE can remember passwords.

If Neither works then you may have a program causing the Issue.

I have never seen it not work.
If it has already remembered a password for a site you have to go to passwords in options and delete the site it is remembering it for or it wont ask you to again.
Find me a site it doesn't work with?

Re: Need help with creating a script file for automatic login
There are some retail sites that it does not work with. I place frequent orders with one site and its login page never remembers my login information. Most other site, however, it works fine. So it's not a program or the browser I'm using, it's the site.

But we're skirting the main issue....I'm looking for someone who knows how to create a script or bat file.

That's because they would be https secure SSL they don't allow the running of any script they will just crash.

What I'm trying to do wouldn't be performed within the site...it would be performed outside and within my browser. It would be a simple execute file that recognizes the login fields on the site and enter my personal info into them. All I would simply need to do is hit the website's enter button. I would place a shortcut for the execute file in the command bar at the top of my browser for ease of use.

Does the site in question have a Remember me option.

As the quoted poster Has Stated HTTPS Sites Are Secure and DO NOT Allow Automated Login Function, There IS NO WAY To Pass Information to them.

Well I don't think you can do that.
But anyway you could try this.

Try manually editing the bookmark (properties tab) to prefix the URL with the user & password thus:

https//username:[email protected]

You said you wanted a script right?
nsLoginManager.js in Firefox is a script, you don't need to make another one, just change it so it offers to remember the https site password when the site tells it not to.
Which of course is pathetically insecure and of course any pw you use for a secure site you shouldn't even have on your pc you should only have it written down on paper next to it.

[link to username:[email protected] (secure)] will not work on banks and the like I just tested it.
