Check out lastpass.com

They are one of the top password managers around with plugins for FireFox, Chrome, IE, and Safari.

Thanks for the responses but I don't think any of these pw managers can auto log me in when I open a random Community page. I guess they can fill the username and pw when I am at the login page only. What I want is whenever I'm browsing any Community page I start with logged in state, I never want to click on the login link.

I was using hundreds of sites where I was registered and I was never logged out from anywhere. Maybe 1-2x in a year. Steam's sites (Community and Store) are the only what are logging me out 9 from 10 times immediately when I am closing my browser. So I have to re-login like 50x a day (not joking) and this is what starts to get *censored* boring now.

Try KeePass. Stores your passwords inside a local encrypted database.

There's this feature where by putting focus into the USERNAME field in a login screen then putting focus on the selected login details in Keepass and by pressing Ctrl-V would automatically fill in the form for you

There is no such thing as this is a security risk. Before you start ragging on me you should know that before working as a senior developer for my company, I wrote browser plugins for Firefox and IE (Didn't do Chrome though).

There are huge security implications involved with autonomous authentication metrics. Hackers and virus manufacturers would just LOVE for this to be supported because they could easily use it to hijack accounts.

This is not a limitation of a plugin, this is a limitation within the browser itself (intentionally limited). The Browser will never allow a plugin to submit DOM information directly, without user intervention. You can store a password within a plugin, but never submit it.
