Auto login with safari

[naylith]

Hi,

Very new with apple scripting, I need your help to learn apple scripting and automate some task :
My goal is to auto login into some account webpage and download some documents.
With the help of IA, I understood the base of the code :

tell application "Safari"
    activate  
    open location "https://www.your-website.com"
end tell

tell application "Safari"
    activate  
    delay 2 -- wait  
    tell front document  
        do JavaScript "document.getElementById('user-id').value='your-id';"
        do JavaScript "document.getElementById('password').value='your-password';"
        do JavaScript "document.forms[0].submit();" 
    end tell  
end tell


My question : Is there a way to use the MacOS password application of safari autofill, in order not to write my password into the script ?
MacOS version Sequoia,

Thanks for any help

I find a way to autofill the connexion form with the keystroke, here an example if it can help someone else :

tell application "System Events"
tell process "Safari"
key code 125 -- code for down_arrow
delay 1
key code 36 -- code for return
delay 3
key code 36

Just for learning purpose, is there another way to fill connexion form with registred password ?

I’m not aware on how to access Safari passwords from AppleScript, HOWEVER: you can access passwords stored in Keychain. Open Keychain Access.app and manually add new password item.

In this case I named my keychain item “password test”, so I can access it with:

set mPassword to (do shell script "security find-generic-password -l \"password test\" -w")

You’ll need to enter your user password to access it, but you can set it to “always allow”.

I’ve done something like this with 1Password 6, when the UI is still using a native macOS app. Passwords app is inspectable, so it looks to be doable. You will need to prompt the user to unlock via password or touch ID first though. I accomplished that with a recognizable chime and then go on a loop to wait for the user to unlock.

As mentioned, using keystrokes works too when the iCloud keychain sheet is present.
