How to sign into web pages that require credentials?

[curzel-it]

Say I want to set my wallpaper as a web page that requires credentials (eg. Google Keep or Trello).
Is there any way I can interact with the desktop to login?

Cef is set to use memory as cache... so when you restart browser the login & other cookie data disappears.
It is possible to use disk cache, I did experiment it for the deviantart downloader: https://github.com/rocksdanister/lively-cef/blob/3ed24b298ac876035e1a383809dc0d6eeb4b1b9e/src/cefsharptest/Form1.cs#L303
Not sure If i should provide a toggle for it, safety concerns and all that.

I'm working on an input system through lively for interaction, you can see a working demo on the subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/LivelyWallpaper/comments/ew5e3e/preview_web_wallpaper_input_test_3_rain/
this ui is programmable, more details will be provided on the wiki once released: https://github.com/rocksdanister/lively/wiki/Web-Guide-IV-:-Interaction

Maybe on a per-wallpaper basis, what do you think?

Amazing!

I think il add an optional flag in the LivelyInfo.json file after next update, no gui.

Mouse interaction is coming next update #30

I'm working on keyboard input: #35
& there will be a setting in Lively(global) to enable disk cache for cef.

Will take time as I'm currently refactoring the code.

Recently added a preview mode with full input support:
https://github.com/rocksdanister/lively/releases/tag/v1.0.7.0
Since its just a separate window in-focus run temporarily, safety is not a problem.
Now only left to enable the disk cache mode in cef so that login persists.

[rocksdanister]

Its possible now:

1. Enable Disk cache so that cookie and login settings gets restored next time browser is started.
2. Open the wallpaper that require input in Preview mode.
3. Enter the credentials and select "Keep me Logged in" or similar option, login to the service.
4. Close preview and now just set the wallpaper normally.

Note:

• Cachepath is separate depending on the selected screen, so for example if first screen is selected in lively control panel then cache folder will be for that screen only.
• Disk cache will be only enabled for online type wallpapers.
• Cache location is: C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Lively Wallpaper\Cef

This is safe as the input is only forwarded when the preview window is in focus, you can keep track of the keyboard interaction for wallpaper in separate issue: #35
