Autologin-applet is an easy-to-use program that enables users to automatically log in to captive HTML portals such as Fon and AT&T. It eliminates the need for manual login procedures and saves time, making it an essential tool for frequent users of such portals.
With this applet, you do not have to worry about the authentication process as it takes care of it for you. Currently, the applet only supports the Fon network, but adding another network is effortless. All you have to do is send an email to the developer, and they will add it.
To use the autologin-applet, you will need to meet some requirements, including GTK+ version 2.10.x, Python 2.3 or above, pygtk-2.6, gnome-python-2.10, gnome-python-extras-2.10, gnome-icons-theme-2.10, ClientForm, ClientCookies, and dbus.
The latest version of the autologin-applet now includes bug corrections for threading issues in the previous 0.6 and 0.7 versions. These corrections were made thanks to mariano and nsh from #gnome-love.
In summary, the autologin-applet is a handy software that simplifies the authentication process while using public Wi-Fi from a vendor or community. It is easy to add support for another network, and the latest version has resolved threading bugs present in earlier versions.
