Auto login to pages for elderly

[billjoe]

Hi,
I have made a password book for a person who has bad eye sight, no patience.
Very often he presses i forgot the password and resets his passwords
This is very problematic.
Is there a way to automate this process so he can just open a website and have a script like puppeteer (or something easier) input login data and never have to deal with password issues again?
Thanks

Be with him as you go to one of his usual websites, manually input his login information (using Safari) and then when Safari prompts, save the information to his Apple Keychain. That way, when he visits the site when you are not there, he can click on the user ID login option and Safari will input that username and password information.

thanks for your reply,
His default browser is google chrome, I know there is also a password system there.
the problem also is he has two computers so when i fix one the other one might have older passwords,
so the problem persists.
I need a way maybe through the cloud or with automator apps on a usb key so that he can click on them and they open the website the login and passwords are inputed and he is directly on the website pages.

Thanks,
Yes those solutions can be handy,
Sometimes the save pop up window disappears before you can press save,
Maybe there is a always save option?
Thanks

If you have the time/patience:

Manually add a new password

1. On your computer, open Chrome.
2. At the top right, click More
   
   
   Passwords and autofill
   
   Google Password Manager
   
   Add.
3. Enter a website, username, and password.
4. Select Save.

And the related, I guess:

Manage auto sign-in​

You can automatically sign in to sites and apps with info you’ve saved. If you want Chrome to ask for confirmation before you sign in to a site or app, turn Sign in automatically off.

1. On your computer, open Chrome.
2. At the top right, select More
   
   
   Passwords and autofill
   
   Google Password Manager.
3. On the left, select Settings.
4. Turn Sign in automatically on or off.

thanks again for a great reply,
this will help a lot,
and also i found this
"passwords are saved only to this device
To use them on your other devices, save them in your Google Account"

which helps me understand why sometimes passwords are available on one computer and not another, because of where they have been saved; device or google account

thank you

No, no, no.

If want to go this route, will want to encrypt whatever file is storing the passwords, which will add another layer of problems: now have another password to remember and use to get to the "solution" to not have to input passwords correctly.

Unencrypted file of passwords in a cloud account (a smidge safe) or on a thumb drive (not safe at all) is just opening one up to bad things happening.
