Make login screen accessible for keepass/ChromeIPass

It’s a known limitation of ChromelPass, but there’s a simple workaround.

7.2 Auto detection of input fields

7.2.1 Problem

The detection does only detect fields which are visible when this function is called.

It is only one time called automatically: After loading of the page finished.

New input fields which are created with JavaScript or with an AJAX-call cannot be detected, because they get visible after the auto detection was called.

For example an overlay for signin or signup could possibly not auto detected by chromeIPass because either the input fields are created just-in-time or they are hidden to the user while auto detection is running.

7.2.2 Solution

When it did not detect any username + password field combination you can click on the browser icon of chromeIPass and press the button “Redetect credential fields”.

You can also focus the visible username field or password field and press Ctrl+Shift+U. This will start a redetection for the focused field, too.
