you cannot.

I dont think you can send password with the shortcut like the station/login name, i just use a programmed key with password, saves typin each time lol

Yes...by using the little MQ button, which only comes with a nice sub here at RG !!!! Little sarcasm I love RG, what can I say... you can't without some other magic.

Holy crap, 2012 to 2023.. thats a necro jump lol

As far as Necro posts go - this one wasnt a bad one. The original post and content is still valid...and it was a valid question. Its not like someone posted a question in 2012 like "What should my 6th toon be??" and only now just answering it.

You can use Autohotkey to send the password.
Send, %eqPassword%
Send {Enter}
eqPassword is a predefine password you hardcode into a script. I have all mine to autoload on starting up my computers (put a shortcut to the file in shell:startup folder).

I use sleep commands to just make sure its up and running... assuming you dont want the injection software which is why you were asking about how to do it outside of MQ. if you could read the memory when you would find the flag for the login screen and then make it enter it, but that requires a lot more then i could justify being worth the time. I also set my computers to turn on 10 minutes before im usually home with windows settings for auto wait.

Forgot to mention too that you can just keep sending "enter" commands to the screen to autologin your characters. Only works for last used character.
