Rob, What exactly is the question, as your post is merely a description of what you want to do?

PS: reCAPTCHA discussions aren't allowed here when your goal is to automate them, as that is a way around standard security.

Rob, automating filling in of username / password is a standard password manager task. There are plenty of them out there. A good password manager will check the URL, and validate that it is in fact a legit / correct URL. However, as Jos says, reCAPTCHA is not a discussion on here.  Additionally you shouldn't be automating that anyway, nor should any automation or password manager automatically click on "submit" or "login" for a website, as the user needs to check the page they are logging into.

No Autoit script is going to detect honeypots or dodgy websites if you have a login.  And the extra few seconds of verifying website, reCAPTCHA, and clicking on submit or logon is nothing in the overall scheme of things. If the sites belong to you, and you are trying to perform automation or monitoring, you probably already have other means of gathering data.

A password manager would seem the appropriate solution. And if you are genuinely intent on building a primitive password manager, search and read through through the help articles on automating web interactions, AND encryption.
