This is the 7th video in my series of automating logging into websites with AutoHotkey. In this tutorial I show how to login to Reddit.
In this video we had a small hiccup where I used the classname and had assumed it was unique. Turns out the there was another button on the page with the exact same classnames! It was not a big issue, but definitely a good example of how you need to troubleshoot/test your code!
Below is the video showing how I automated the login to Reddit with AutoHotkey
