Using Firefox on a Windows XP machine I sometimes encounter
websites where, when you have to provide a username and password,
these are automatically filled in for you. I do not know
whether this feature is provided just by the browser or by the
browser's interaction with a helper application in Windows.
Does NetSurf for RISC OS supply any hooks, wimp messages or
whatever, whereby such a feature could be provided using a
helper application? If not, then maybe some approximation could
be kludged using function keys.

There is always FFiller by Kevin Wells. I have found it quite useful
in the past. Always use it for eg ROOL forum.

Or if you are paranoid about having visible passwords on your system,
CrypStor by Frank de Bruijn will store passwords encrypted. You can
export these passwords as a text file, then drag and drop the relevant
one into NetSurf, then delete the export file.
It's at http://aconet.org/crypstor/
I didn't find it totally intuitive to start with, but I now find it
extremely useful.
Probably OT here, though.
With best wishes,
Peter.

...but if you are paranoid, why would you want the browser to
remember passwords anyway?

A very useful programme.

Better than that, you can enter them automatically by clicking on the
relevant button bar

Wouldn't be without it here.
