Thread-topic: Script help for filling in Chrome credentials dialog

Dan,

To be bluntly honest, I think this is a bad idea and is a big security risk since your logon credentials are available to all in clear text.

Instead of using AppleScript, I'd suggest a password manager, like 1Password. You can set 1Password to auto-fill your login info after you have entered the 1Password master password (once during a Mac session).

I've been using 1Password for years, and it works very well.

Best Regards,

Can someone help with this? Trying to launch a webpage in kiosk mode using Chrome that needs authentication and trying to script it, but it won’t fill in the credentials when the dialog pops up in Chrome.

delay 4

tell application "Finder"

activate

do shell script "/Applications/Google\\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\\ Chrome --kiosk https://somewebpage.com<https://somewebpage.com/>"

end tell

tell application "Google Chrome" (Also tried here System Events, Google Chrome Helper or System Events to tell process “Google Chrome”)

activate

delay 0.3

keystroke "username"

keystroke tab

keystroke "password"

keystroke return

end tell

Thanks,

Dan
