Fill Out a Log-in Form (QuickLogin)

To use the QuickLogin feature:

3.	Type the hot key configured in the Hot Key Preferences. - or - Richt-click on the Tool Tray icon and select Fill out log-in form Return to Bookmark Buddy and click on the log-in button to the right of the log-in field on the Notes window. - or - Return to Bookmark Buddy and type Ctrl+L.

If your log-in passwords are encrypted Bookmark Buddy will ask you for the decryption password the first time you need to access a site log-in password. Bookmark Buddy will remember your decryption password until you switch to a different bookmark list (unless you set the Behavior Preference Remember encryption passwords til exit), or you exit Bookmark Buddy.

The QuickLogin feature works with most web page, popup dialog and application log-in forms. Bookmark Buddy sends the log-in details to the last-active window; if you switch to another window before switching to Bookmark Buddy, your log-in details may be entered into the wrong place.

Where a web log-in spans more than one field, use the ‘^’ symbol to indicate a field break (i.e. tab to the next entry box), e.g. 123^45^6789. If it takes two tabs to reach the password field, add a ‘^’ to the end of the log-in, e.g. username^. (This feature does not currently work for dialog/application windows.)

If the log-in field is pre-filled, double-click in the log-in box (selecting the log-in name) before using QuickLogin. There is usually an option to turn off the pre-fill feature, e.g. ‘(do not) remember login’ or  ‘I use a public/shared computer’.

If you find QuickLogin isn’t working properly, try increasing the QuickLogin delay in Behavior Preference.

Once you have entered your log-ins into Bookmark Buddy you may want to turn off the browser’s ‘autocomplete’ function. To do this in Internet Explorer:
