# Using 1Password to Automatically Fill Contest Forms

Here are the basic steps for using 1Password for filling contest forms.

1. Open your bookmark window in Safari or any other browser.
2. Create bookmark folders that match your entering style, Dailies, Weeklies, Manual and so on. If you enter for more than one person, have a folder for each of them.
3. Open 1Password and position the window so that you can also see the Safari bookmark window.
4. Select the 1Password forms you want to open in Safari. Use the shift modifier to select a continuous group or the command key to pick and choose the forms you want.
5. Once highlighted, drag the forms to the Safari folder icon you want to place them into and release the button.
6. The bookmarks will be placed with one addition, the 1Password form identifier as a hex number at the end of the bookmark URL. Leave this alone.
7. Once you have the bookmarks sorted out, go to the preferences in 1Password (or in the 1P menu of your browser) and choose to turn Autosubmit Logins on.
8. Go to Safari and right click on the bookmarks folder that contains your forms and choose “Open in Tabs”. If you have more than 50 forms Safari will ask if you want to continue, say yes (if you have enough RAM).
9. Watch all your forms open and submit in each of their own tabs. Give it a few minutes to get through your whole list and then you can close each one, one by one to confirm they properly submitted or you can option close to close all but one.

These steps were provided as a courtesy by Carolyn Wilman, co-founder of the Canadian Contestors Association and author of You Can’t Win If You Don’t Enter.

## Handling CAPTCHA Forms

You may also use this technique for forms that require a CAPTCHA code. Just keep these forms in a folder named manual and turn off 1Password’s Autosubmit feature. When you open the folder in tabs, you can go through each one, one at a time and add the CAPTCHA code.
