Terminal window
keychord secret set STAGING_PW # type the password at the hidden prompt
vars:
work_email: ada@example.com
chords:
- keys: lg
text: "${work_email}{tab}${secret:STAGING_PW}{enter}"

Use it: click the username field, hold ⌘⌥, type lg, release.

  • Fire it in the username field, not the password field: macOS hides all keys from every app while a password field has focus (Secure Input), so keychord can’t see the chord there.
  • Slow page or an autocomplete dropdown? Add a pause: ${work_email}{delay:150}{tab}….
  • Longer forms work the same way: ${me}{tab}${work_email}{tab}${phone}{enter}.
