  • (a) receiving in memory coupled to a processor of a client device, 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, the processor of the client device being different from another processor transmitting the web artifact;

    (b) identifying by the processor of the client device, a password field in the model, and a form associated with the password field, the form comprising a set of distinct input fields, each distinct input field having a respective type selected from a group consisting of;

    (i) an unspecified type, (ii) a text type, and (iii) an email type, one field in the set being the identified password field;

    (c) determining by the processor of the client device a total number of distinct input fields in the form, the determined total number identifying a count of the distinct input fields in the form;

    (d) ascertaining by the processor of the client device that the determined total number equals a specified total number of distinct input fields provided in user credentials stored in the memory;

    (e) identifying by the processor of the client device a submit element in the form;
