login website quicker using linux command line

As a Linux sys-admin we will face many logins and has to remember username passwords. I want to share how to akses quicker without remembering username or password

#make a script below 

echo "username" |xclip -sel clip |chromium-browser (input url address for login)

sleep 5

echo "password" |xclip -sel clip

-------- 

Explanation of the script above

1. echo "username" |xclip -sel clip  <-- will copy to clipboard your username

2. echo "username" |xclip -sel clip |chromium-browser (input url address for login https://...) <-- the second part of the first line will open the login url https://.... in the chromium browser.

or open with another version of google chrome browser use below command:

google-chrome (input url address for login)

to open in firefox

firefox (input url address for login)

3. sleep 5 <------ will wait for 5 seconds until execute the next command

In sleep 5 seconds can be arrange longer if the usual login loading in browser will take more than 5 seconds

4. echo "password" |xclip -sel clip <---- will copy the password in clipboard

------------

So When the command is executed: 

1. it will copy username in the clipboard

2. will open the url login to the browser 

3. if cursor already in the login box, press in keyboard Ctrl-v to paste the username

4. wait for 5 seconds (usually i count 1, 2, 3 .. to 10)

5. tab to the password box and Ctrl-V will input the password

6. press enter to login.

---

To make it simple you can separately make a script for the copy to clipboard command as explain on my other tutorial below. Thanks
