Windows 7 x64/IE8/autofill passwords from 3rd pty prog


Recommended Posts

Posted

Using Password Agent 2.62 to keep and autofill uder ID's and passwords. I am running Windows 7 64 bit. The autofill feature in Password Agent works fine in everything except IE8, there is just disappears.

I have turned off the autocomplete systems in IE8 and even deleted the history. UAC is off. I have given all the users Administrator rights and gave the program all the permissions I can.

The Password Agent help manual describes something about UIPI, so I have permanently set Password Agent to run as Administrator, but I still get no communications.

Any ideas how I can trouble shoot/solve this?

Below is the Password Agent description of the problem:

Windows Vista/7 – autofill to certain applications completely fails. Windows Vista/7 contains new security functionality that is called User Interface Privilege Isolation (UIPI). Among other things this means that you can’t send user input into another application that runs with higher privileges that your application. Or in other words, if you run Password Agent as limited user (or under UAC), then you can’t autofill to another application that has been started with administrator privileges. Windows Vista/7 does not allow this kind of communication and silently “eats” this autofill, so it will never reach destination application.

They also suggested introducing a Wait into the autofill but that didn't work either.

For completeness I am running on a Dell XPS M1530 Laptop, with Intel Core Duo processors running at 2.1ghz with a Seagate Momentus XT 500 GB 7200RPM SATA Hard drive.

Thanks
