Working with password fields
You can enter password using Password Generator or manually.
Using Form Auto Fill Password Generator you can generate random passwords of any length. You can specify the password length, the use of letters (upper/lower case) and digits.
To generate random password:
- Open the necessary form.
- If you want to add new password field click the "Add" button or select the necessary password field(s) and click the "Modify" button.
- In the "Add/modify" field click the Generate Password button.

- In the "Generate password" window specify the password length, what characters you want to use - upper/lower case letters, digits.

- Click OK.
Random passwords can be edited and copied to the clipboard for pasting into other applications.
Using "Show password"/"Hide password" buttons you can make password visible/invisible.
If you want to change the password, just generate a new password and it will be automatically inserted into the password value field.
Fill form action
No default action
If "No default option" is selected, Form Auto Fill will perform the action of hotkeys.
Fill form *
If "Fill form" is selected, Form Auto Fill will fill a web form.
Fill & Submit form *
If "Fill & Submit form" is selected, Form Auto Fill will fill a web form and automatically submit it.
Form Auto Fill performs the necessary action ("fill form" and "fill & submit form") by the hotkey.
* If there is only one Form that matches a web page with the form you want to fill or fill & submit, action selected in the Form has higher priority than the action of a hotkey. E.g. if you use Ctrl + Alt + F ("Fill form" hotkeys combination) but in the Form "Fill & Submit" action is selected, FormAutoFill will perform "Fill & Submit" action
Otherwise, if you have more than one Form in Form Auto Fill that matches a web page/url, hotkeys action has higher priority.
