I couldn’t agree more. I think every platform out there has quick login, except for NT lmao. Takes a few seconds to do but it’s still rather annoying.
Ahk is the way to go. It has solved almost every UI aggravation I have encountered in NT over the years.
If possible, try and implement an ahk solution which uses the UIA automation library. This method injects text directly into the WPF stream without using keyboard simulation. It is definitely more involved to implement but will function in circumstances where the keyboard emulation will fail (ie locked screen, window not focused)
