Have cursor in username field on LUCI login

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi,
I followed this: Hide root user on LUCI login
To have an empty username field by default on the LUCI login page. But the cursor defaults to the password field. I would like to have it in the username field otherwise Keepass auto type gets confused.

Cheers

Edit: seems to be unnecessary with the bootstrap theme. Skip this post and see later posts.

Find your sysauth.htm file and change the highlighted line below to replace luci_password with luci_username

I found it in /usr/lib/lua/luci/view/sysauth.htm
cleared the cache rm /tmp/luci-modulecache/* and restarted uhttp /etc/init.d/uhttpd restart

But the cursor is still focused on the password.

Look in any theme subdirectories too.

find /usr/lib -name sysauth.htm

I'm using bootstrap, I think there is nothin that needs to be changed?

/usr/lib/lua/luci/view/themes/bootstrap/sysauth.htm

How about changing this from type="password" to name="luci_username" in /www/luci-static/resources/view/bootstrap/sysauth.js

You are discovering I’m no expert in this area.

Nice, that is confirmed working!

8

... and not working now as of v23.05.0

9

you can also reconfigure keepass for another autofill pattern

10

Did you re-apply the same change to the new files?

11

Yes... file is still there and tried luci_username and just username as well.

12

Thanks, reconfig KeePass autotype was exactly what I was going to do as a backup!

Update: There was a luci package update since the initial 23.05.0 release and it is now working again
