Custom quick keys for pasting usernames & passwords

[jonutarr]

I've tried everything to get my Firefox to remember my username and password for my university's website that I log into everyday but no success, can I make a custom paste that, for example, I could put o for the username and p for the password that my iMac will always remember?

Is there such software that exists?

What Browser are you using?
Keychain remembers usernames and passwords for sites.

Maybe the following text expanding / text macro applications* can help:

• Mac OS X Feature: System-Wide Text Substitution (available since Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard)
• TextExpander (34.95 USD - synchs between Macs via Dropbox)
• TypeIt4Me (13.99 USD and upwards)
• Typinator (24.99 €)
• Kissphrase (free)
• QuicKeys (59.95 USD)
• aText (5 USD)
• xType (free)
• yType (2.99 USD)

*

Such applications are text replacement utilities to insert blocks of text into other applications by simply typing a few user defined keystrokes. Anytime a user defined keystroke combination is typed, it is substituted with the replacement text.
Example: you type "email1" and that text expands to "thisismyemailaddress@hotmail.xxx".
It might not work with passwords though.
