Auto-fill on Page Load
Auto-fill on Page load is a function that automatically populates a Login on a Page when the URI of the page being displayed corresponds to an Item in the Vault.
This is pertinent for Logins, Cards or Identities.
Untrusted iframes: Auto-fill on page load does not work for untrusted iframes.
HTTPS/HTTP: If the Vault Item expects an HTTPS site and a HTTP version of the site is displayed, the user is warned before auto-filling on page load.
Enable Auto-fill on page load
For security reasons, it is automatically disabled and needs to be enabled to work.
To enable Auto-fill on Page Load, from the Browser extension, navigate to Settings> Autofill. The Auto-fill screen opens.
Click the Auto-fill on page load checkbox. This enables the option to auto-fill logins on page load.
From the Default autofill setting for Login items dropdown, choose the default option:
This can be overwritten for each item from the Items Screen. This allows specific auto-fill options to be set for specific items.
From the Default URI match detection dropdown, choose how to match the URL of the webpage with the Login already in the Vault.
Auto-fill Item to Vault on Page Load
If this login is not already saved in WALLIX Enterprise Vault, a prompt displays which offers to save the Login details for this Website.
Choose a Folder to add the Login to this Folder in the Vault. This field is optional.
Items are added to the User's Individual Vault and not a Shared Vault.
Click the Save button.
The Add Item Screen displays with the fields prepopulated with the Login details.
Modify fields, if required.

Auto-fill Manually
You can manually add a Login that is not already in the Vault.

The Add Item Screen opens.
The elements that the Browser Extension could recuperate from the browser are prepopulated.
Enter the remaining fields. Click Save to create Login.

Auto-fill using Keyboard Shortcuts
Use the following default keyboard shortcuts (also known as hot keys) to auto-fill a login.
-
Use Ctrl + Shift + L if running Windows of Linux
- Use Cmd + Shift + L if running for macOS
If multiple logins are found for the URI, the last-used login is used for auto-fill.
Keyboard shortcuts can be useful to populating multiple logins in rapid succession.
Configure shortcuts: If the keyboard shortcut doesn't work, it may be because another app is already using it. Either remove the shortcut from the other app or configure WALLIX to use a different shortcut.
TOTP Copy
If the Login uses WALLIX Authenticator for TOTPs, the shortcut also copies the TOTP to the clipboard after auto-filling the web page with any of the above methods.
