Password fields dont seem to be possible to SendInput to
How do I do this?
I want to enter only half of a password - the other half I want to enter myself
I use another Clipboard manager - but would like to do everything with AHK
Thanks
How to sendinput to a password field?
Re: How to sendinput to a password field?
I send passwords to password fields in many web sites and programs. Perhaps that one is different. Maybe it is sending the characters incorrectly because the password contains special characters that are the same as AHK's modifier keys (+^!#). If so, use SendRaw.

Hallo,
some websites allow only slow writing of passwords. I always use Send with SetKeyDelay, 333,50

@Rohwedder
that doesnt work.
now, on another laptop, neither work
on one laptop it works. but then doesnt work on other websites
really frustrating
i can use another program like phrasexpress and it works ok
i was trying to get away from phrasexpress. it's great. but i can now do everything it does with AHK - apart from pasting into password fields.
on the laptop where it doesnt work, AHK doesnt work at all on any form
any suggestions?
thanks

Try running as admin.

running as admin?
you mean run the ahk file as admin?
i could do. doesnt make sense why it works for some laptops and others it doesnt - i'm logged in as admin for all of them
ahk is running.
a keyboard shortcut works.
i can assign #n for example and that works.
really frustrating.

Re: How to sendinput to a password field?
Did you try it? Being logged in as admin isn't necessarily the same as running the script as admin.
It might be because the browser or whatever it's interacting with is running as an elevated process on one machine but not another. Or it could be the difference in Windows UAC settings between the machines.

Re: How to sendinput to a password field?
i'll give it a go and will let u know

UAC settings?
please tell me more
i have one laptop where AHK behaves differently. i will have scripts that run perfectly on 10 other machines, but this one, always fails and runs different and doesn't follow expected behaviour.
maybe UAC setting - whatever it is - could help explain
