Is it possible to pass Username and Password to a website?

For some websites, it requires login Username and Password.  How can I "pass" the value from my c# Desktop Application to these two fields?

What I want to do in my C# Application is Step 2:

Step 1: Go to a website, e.g. MyFavoriteSite.com

Step 2: I have to input my Username and Password

Step 3: Click "Ok" button to login.

Please help ~~

Answer 4

It depends on the manor in which you're attempting to get at the site (are you embedding a WebBrowser, using HTTPRequest, etc.).

It also depends on how the site does it's authentication.  Is it a custom form with username/password, a popup, window auth, etc.  If it's custom, the details of how they implemented their custom form will of course affect how you programmatically fill it out.

Answer 5

To wit, the website needs to support some kind of single sign on mechanism that will give you the ability to get hold of an authentication token to either pass around the URL or stick in a cookie by invoking a web method on the target site or you have to manually fill in these fields by automating the browser.  If you have any control over the remote web site, I highly recommend you do the former, as it is way less annoying than programming against the web site's login page.
