How to hide what Sikuli does? (other workspace e.g.)

Asked by Florian

Hi,

I plan to hire some people to post on my Facebook accounts and I do not want them to see the password.
So I would like to find a way for Sikuli to type the credentials in Firefox but without the user seeing all that or risking them to put a text editor in focus...
It does not necessary have to be extra-secure, just avoid lack of discretion.

Ideally I could display a "Please wait" picture on the top of the entire screen while Sikuli deals with everything in the back.

Any idea?

NOTE: I run on Linux
Thanks.

I do not know, how secure the Firefox password store is, but with Safari at least on Mac the store only reveals the stored passwords in the settings, when you enter the admin password.
The auto-fill on a page works just by focusing the username field and then selecting the appropriate credentials from the popup.

The password is not revealed at any time during this process.

If the only thing you want is to prevent sikuli typing your password anywhere on the screen in a visible way. If you automate the browser through Selenium, when the browser loose focus your sikuli script will not write anywhere, it will break. The keys pressed are sent to the selected web element only.

Can you help with this problem?
