AutoComplete is a feature that automates the filling of login forms and web forms, using passwords and identities saved in your Vault file. Using AutoComplete is much more convenient and less error-prone than manually typing in usernames, passwords, and personal information yourself.
In the default Form Filler mode, Password Vault can AutoComplete passwords and identities in the following browsers. No configuration is required beforehand.
Internet Explorer
Mozilla Firefox
Google Chrome
It is also possible to AutoComplete passwords in other Windows desktop applications and other browsers by using an alternate mode of AutoComplete called Keystroke mode. For details, see AutoComplete a login form in a Windows desktop application.
To AutoComplete a password or identity
There are multiple ways to start an AutoComplete operation. You can choose whichever method you prefer. Note that Regex Password Vault must be running in the background with your Vault file open.
Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox — Click AutoComplete Password
Google Chrome — Click the Regex Password Vault Helper button
Note If you don't see these buttons in your browser, see AutoComplete buttons do not appear in my browser. |

Click the Regex Password Vault icon
Click AutoComplete Password... to fill a login form or AutoComplete Identity... to fill a web form. You will be presented with a list of passwords or identities to choose from. |
Switch to Regex Password Vault, then select the desired password or identity. Click AutoComplete
There will be a short delay before the AutoComplete operation starts. This is to allow time to switch from the Password Vault window to the target window. You will be automatically switched back to the last window you were using. This will generally be the desired target window. However, if this is not the window you want, you will need to switch to the correct target window before the delay elapses. After the delay elapses, the password or identity will be AutoCompleted.
You can change this window-switching behavior or make the delay longer or shorter. Click Tools > Options > Advanced, then under AutoComplete, make the desired changes. |
