Keepass Auto-Type Examples
I’ve been using Keepass to store my passwords for years but it was only this year that I realised (yes, how could I not know?!) that the Auto-Type functionality can be customised to handle obscure login forms. Below are a list of some of the Auto-Types that I’ve created to handle a selection of sites I visit. Hopefully they will come in useful for someone else 🙂

{USERNAME}{TAB}{TAB}{PASSWORD}{ENTER}
Nationwide
This only works from when you’ve entered your memorable word. Unfortunately the fields aren’t visible until that memorable word is entered.
Under the Advanced tab, enter a new String field with the key “PASSNUMBER” and the value of your pass, e.g. “123456”
{TAB}{TAB}{PICKCHARS:PASSNUMBER:ID=1, C=1}{TAB}{PICKCHARS:PASSNUMBER:ID=2, C=1}{TAB}{PICKCHARS:PASSNUMBER:ID=3, C=1}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{SPACE}
NS&I
Under the Advanced tab, enter a new String field with the key “SURNAME” and the value of your pass, e.g. “Bloggs”
{USERNAME}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{S:SURNAME}{TAB}{TAB}{PASSWORD}{ENTER}
Natwest (NWOLB)
This only works from the Step 2 page (after you’ve entered your Customer Number and clicked Continue. If you’re not on a shared PC you can optionally decide to get it to remember your Customer Number and therefore the first page you’ll land on is the Step 2 page).
Under the Advanced tab, enter a new String field with the key “PIN” and the value of your pass, e.g. “1234”
{PICKCHARS:PIN:c=3}{PICKCHARS:Password:c=3}{ENTER}
Sainsbury’s Bank
This only works from the Step 2 page (after you’ve entered your Username and clicked Continue. If you’re not on a shared PC you can optionally decide to get it to remember your Username
Under the Advanced tab, enter a new String field with the key “PIN” and the value of your pass, e.g. “123456”
