Is there a way to make automator record my password?

[John45555]

I make my passwords long for security, so decided to use Automator to quicken the job. Is there any way to make it record and input the password? Or is there another program that can do so? I've already tried Automator and QuicKeys, but neither of them save and can playback the passwords. Thanks!

Keychain is already part of Mac OS X. It can do what you want.

Some sites do not allow the use of Keychain, and I don't want the passwords to be automatically entered in the case my computer were to be stolen.

Have you guys considered 1Password? Single license lets you run it on multiple computers. There are iPhone/iPad versions available, and it has sync via Dropbox capability.

Keychain IS safer than automator action.

Don't put the passwords in the "login" keychain. Make a separate keychain to keep the passwords and do not keep that keychain unlocked. That way it will prompt you for the keychain password when it attempts to auto enter the password.

Awesome! I'll try it. The license is a bit expensive though... Is there a way to make automator do this?
