Using PAD browser automation with the Microsoft Autofill extension installed - how to turn off stored data?

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hello Everyone.

 

Does anyone else have experience with PAD browser automation using Edge and the Microsoft Autofill extension?

 

Basically, the website I want to log in to using PAD has credentials already stored in Microsoft Autofill, meaning that when PAD clicks the login in text fields that data appears to be selected and because of that the flow can't then complete the log in sequence as the autofill details cover the log in button.

 

I can't find a way to turn this autofill feature off without disabling the extension itself which I don't want to do as I will be running this flow from my work laptop, and I use the Microsoft Autofill extension normally otherwise. 

I have Edge turned off to remember passwords, I just want to be able to log in using PAD and not have the autofill dialog pop up each time - any ideas or is disabling the extension the only way?  There doesn't seem to be a way to open an Edge browser using PAD and selectively choose which extensions to run, sadly.

Many thanks for any advice or assistance.

    Hi @ianwuk

    @Kannan_n It happens on any website.  I think it is due to how the plugin behaves.

     

    You can test it easily by installing and setting up the Autofill extension, then go to a website with a login.  The plugin will overshadow the log in option, and there doesn't seem to be any way to interact with it using PAD to click past it.

     

    All I have found is to turn off the extension, sadly.

    The extansion is giving trouble mean when you running automation disable the extansion. After once the automation completed turn it on

    That's correct @Kannan_n , but it doesn't make sense to have to do that.  I guess that's the only thing to do - thanks!
