Software Vulnerabilty Manager (SVM) login user field contains 'username' text - GUI fix suggestion

[Lattaflex]

I use Keepass for identity management and drag my credentials to website fields for logging on.  This avoids using the clipboard.

If I drag the username into the SVM Username field, the 'username' text is not replaced, but is mixed up with the username I dragged.  This is the problem.

If I drag the Password into the SVM Password field, it goes in front of the 'Password' text so that does not interfere - that would be a better design for the username field, too.

Please would you fix the username field to accept dragged text?

Using SVM 2019 R2.

Thanks.

Hi Lattaflex,

I verified the problem and will go ahead flagging it with our Engineering team. 
At the moment I can't say whether this would be prioritized as quickly as you might need.

Therefore, allow me to provide you with a workaround to get around that.

1. Edit your KeePass entry for SVM2019 and go to the Auto-Type tab where you can enable the Auto-Type function.

2. As you have SVM website open in the browser, click on the logon field

3. Right-click onto the Username inside KeePass and then click on the "Perform Auto-Type"

This will auto-type both the username and password inside the correct fields and log you in automatically.
That would be a good workaround for you while we are looking into improving the login box functionality.

I attached a quick video example of how this would work for you. Download and watch it for convenience. 

If this helped you out, let us know by marking the answer as a Solution.

Thanks!
