AutoFill/Login Google Drive?

I have added Amazon Cloud Drive to RoyalTSX and have it autofilling the username and password fields. I simply click login and everything works as expected.


However, Google complicates this by asking for your username on one page and your password on the next. Is there something I can do in RoyalTSX to handle this? Most of my storage (unRAID, FreeNAS, Amazon Cloud Drive, Google Drive, Synology, etc) are web-based and I'm trying to make them all available in RoyalTSX.


Thanks for any tips you may have.

Hi Brian,


unfortunately, Google's new two-page sign in mechanism is a real challenge to autofill. Even LastPass and 1Password are struggling with this...

The best I could come up with at the moment was a key sequence task that would simulate the key presses required to sign in.


Here's how I set this key sequence task up: {WAIT:500}$EffectiveUsername${ENTER}{WAIT:2000}$EffectivePassword${ENTER}


While this works, the downside is that the tab must remain focused until the task is complete and there's a delay after the first step to wait for the password page which could theoretically take longer than 2 seconds to display. So if you use this key sequence task, make sure to adjust the delay so it works in your environment.


Hope that helps!


cheers,

felix
