How to Use Keepass Auto-type with Ubuntu One

Question

I use Keepass 2 on various platforms, and would like to use auto-type to log in to Ubuntu One. However, the Ubuntu One login page has a title of only "Log In", which is a) used on many other pages, and b) not a very good name for the Keepass entry anyway.

Of course, I can bring up the Keepass window, find the Launchpad/Ubuntu One entry, select it, and then type Ctrl-V to do the auto-login, but it would be nice if the standard auto-login key (i.e., Ctrl-Alt-A on Windows) would just be able to find the entry itself.

Is there some trick I can use to make the standard auto-login work? Failing that, to whom can I report this as a problem with the Launchpad login page?

I don't use Keepass, but a bit of research after thinking about your question leads me to suggest that you use The URL in Title Bar plugin which supports Firefox, Opera, and Chrome.

Enable the option 'An entry matches if its URL is contained in the target window title' in KeePass 2.x (Tools->Options->Advanced, auto-type by URL can be realized. Some scripts just append the host/domain; in this case the option 'An entry matches if the host component of its URL is contained in the target window title' should be enabled.

I'm glad you posted a link to a list of various plugin options; it turns out that Host in Title plugin is the best option for me. Thanks. — cjs, Apr 08 '17 at 08:18
