Mapping Login Fields

Some websites use unconventional labels to internally identify their username, password, and other login fields, and the Web Password Filler cannot automatically identify these fields. Users can map the fields on the Web page to the fields in the Secret using drag-and-drop functionality.

Map fields on a Web page form to the fields in a Secret

  1. While creating a new Secret for a website, hover your cursor over the field you want to map in the Secret. The field is highlighted in a gray oval, with instructions to drag the field to the corresponding field on the web page.

  2. Drop the field into the field on the web page form that you want to map.

    drop-pwd

Enabling Field Mapping with Metadata

To enable the field mapping function for Web Password Filler end users, a Secret Server administrator must create a metadata section named WPFHints. In the WPFHints section, the administrator must assign a name for each template field that can be mapped, accompanied by a string value with the XPath to the field that should be populated.

In the example below, the Metadata tab is open and the WPFHints section is displayed. The names of the template fields that can be mapped are accno, Password, and Username, with the corresponding XPath string values of //*[@id="account"], //*[@id="password"], and //*[@id="username"].

  1. Navigate to the web login with at least three fields and click on the Web Password Filler icon.
