1. A method for determining a login sequence, the method comprising:
- (a) receiving in memory coupled to a processor a model of a web artifact, the model comprising at least one of;
(i) a structure of the web artifact, and (ii) one or more events associated with an element of the structure;
(b) identifying by the processor, a password field in the model, and a form associated with the password field;
(c) identifying by the processor one or more input fields in the form;
(d) ascertaining by the processor that a number of input fields in the form equals a specified number of input fields; and

Abstract
A system for automating login can determine if a web artifact, such as a web page, includes a login form, by identifying a password field, a user ID field, and a submit button or another element providing the functionality to submit credentials for authorization. Submission of user credentials may be emulated, and access to password protected areas can be ascertained, e.g., by identifying any element that permits signing out from the password protected area.
