These are the things that I have just written.

Thanks.

The last two words. They must to be anywhere in my computer.

Thanks.

Why do you think they must be somewhere?
The username is, probably, because it's a string and doesn't need any protection.
The password? Maybe, maybe not - it depends on the person who wrote the browser and how security aware they are.
But the real problem is: where? Almost certainly not in the same place for all browsers, pretty certainly not in the same place in memory if pages are opened in a different order. And they definitely won't be tagged as "This is the username" or "This is the password" to make them easy to find, because the browser doesn't know - or care - what the data is, though it may store username / password combos when it spots them (that storage is encrypted however, so you won't get it from there.

Basically, if you want to access this kind of stuff, the chances are it going to be:
1) Difficult.
2) Probably malicious.

And there's the rub: We do not condone, support, or assist in the production of malicious code in any way, form, or manner. This is a professional site for professional developers, and there is no good reason for password capture. As far as I can see, you are on your own with this one.

I have a feeling that we do not understand each other. I do not want to download passwords that have been saved. I just want to programmatically save to my database username and password that I just wrote that I did not have to write again. I write two words and I want to save them to the database. I do not want to write it twice. That is all.

Thanks.

Then do it the other way around: store them in your DB and get your app to write them to the browser. That way, you aren't trying to do anything that could be seen as malicious (and is a damn sight easier as well).

This has already occurred before. But user friendlier seems to me to write a name and password, click the button and it is stored. I have such an idea to capture keystrokes. But this also do not like themselves.

Thanks.

The "browser" can track passwords; why do you think you can do better?

Why better? I want to store all the passwords that I have written to the database.
Best regards

Thanks.

The problem is your code has NO WAY OF

1) identifying a password field in any web page.

2) knowing that field is filled in with a CORRECT password

3) knowing that the form was submitted signalling that the password entry is complete.

There is a reason why you don't see these applications being written the way you're attempting.

Not important website. Important are the last two words that I wrote.

Thanks.

You'll have to learn "web page automation" then, because not all password fields allow "pasting".

And you might as well tag on a key logger.

So how are you going to determine what is a typed "word" in another application?

Hint: You're not.

On any page, I want to log in, I enter login and password. I press a combination of keys and login, password and the URL are stored in my database. What simple Smile | :)

. Only solution is not so simple.
Just a friendly password manager.

Thanks.

Hi Dave. I really like your statement "Apparently, I'm talking to a brick wall." It's true. I do not believe I can not read what I see right now on display. I do not want to read some of the other databases, just from what I see right.
Best Regards

Thanks.

YOU can see it just fine. Your code, however, is literally BLIND, it can't see anything. You have to figure out how to tell the code where to find the data you're looking for on every web page you're going to support. Good Luck with that. You're going to need it.

Oh, and just to complicate things, site usually end up reworking their pages every so often, moving things around and renaming input fields.
