Something like this: https://userID:password@www.wellsfargo.com/accounts/userID This works with browser-implemented Basic Authentication. Is that what you meant? If the bank presents an HTML form that you have to fill in, I'm not sure. You might be able to mimic the results of returning the form, and just send them directly to the bank without getting the form first. A highly secure server (and you hope your bank's is very secure) will implement exotic measures that try to prevent you from doing that. -- Loren

Has anybody worked on this kind of thing where the passwords are fields on the page. For example I might like to have a method that goes to my bank's page each morning, enters the proper information (posts a form with my username and password to the bank server) and then navigates to a page that has my balance on it so I can "chop" it into my personal home page....

I just wrote this little How-To

Before I have it catalogued as an official How-To, please check to see if I left anything out or made any glaring errors.
