AutoLogin JavaScript

==========================
Save this link as a favorite in your browser. When you're on a page that requires login you can just go to that bookmark and it will automatically populate username, password and submit the form. The element names (eg. txtUsername) will mostly likey need to be tweaked for the specific site you're on. You can use FireBug or IE Developer's toolbar to find the names on that particular login page then modify the script. I recommend this only on internal environments where the security of your test credentials are shared among developers and won't be a big security issue. This has saved me thousands of time when I need to constantly login to test different freatures and users.

javascript:(function(){var d=document;d.getElementById('txtUsername').value='loginid_or_email_etc';d.getElementById('txtPassword').value='the_password';d.getElementById('btnLogin').click();})();
