Dynamic HTML-Inputfields

Hi,

Dynamic HTML input fields are supported in Remote Desktop Manager (RDM). Within an entry’s edit window, you can enable this by clicking the Automatic button under Login → HTML Control. This will automatically set the Username ID to [UserName] and the Password ID to [Password], meaning RDM will attempt to detect the correct input fields without requiring you to manually specify the IDs or names.


Although the fields are labeled Username ID and Password ID, you can enter an element’s id attribute, name attribute, or placeholder.

When you mention Bitwarden or Proton Pass, are you referring to their browser extensions?

Dynamic HTML input fields are also supported with the Devolutions Workspace Extension, which can connect directly to RDM, Devolutions Server, or Devolutions Hub Business/Personal, depending on the data source you use.

Best regards,

Hi,

Thanks for the clarification.
It's good to know that these are dynamic fields. However, the autofill still doesn't work on those websites. We're using the embedded browser to open them.
Do you have any idea why the password might not be filled in?

Best regards,

Hi,

Are these websites public? We can try to reproduce the issue on our side. If you prefer not to share the URLs in the forum, you can send them to me via direct message instead.

Have you tested them with the Devolutions Workspace Extension to see if they work there?

Hi,

Sure, I can share one of them. For the others, I’d need to search again as I don’t have them in mind at the moment.
Here’s one: https://account.synology.com
The Workspace extension seems to be working. I'm curious, how does the extension detect dynamic fields, but RDM doesn’t?

Hi,

The main issue is that the website uses a multi-page authentication flow, where the username and password fields are not visible at the same time.

Currently, RDM behaves strictly in both cases—whether it is autofilling on load (Autofill Login) or when clicking the key button in the navigation bar with dynamic fields. At this time with dynamic fields, RDM requires a password field to be present on the page in order to detect and associate it with a username for login.

We will open a ticket to adjust this behavior so that it works more like the browser extension, allowing when clicking the key button to handle multi-page logins with dynamic fields.

Best regards,
