A chrome extension to automatically log you into online services of the Technical University of Vienna.

Online services of the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) have infuriatingly short session times. TISS Auto Login is a small and simple Chrome Extension that combats this high priority issue by automatically logging you back into TUWEL and TISS.

Simply provide your login credentials and TISS Auto Login will do all the hard work for you.

Installation

Quick-ish method (that sometimes won't work):

• Download tiss-auto-login_vX.X.X.crx (latest release desirable).
• Go to your Chrome Extensions. (chrome://extensions/)
• Click to check Developer mode.
• Now drag and drop the tiss-auto-login.crx file into the chrome window. Make sure you are still on the extensions page!
• Click on Add extension.

Normal method:

• Download and unzip tiss-auto-login_vX.X.X.zip (latest release desirable).

• Go to your Chrome Extensions. (chrome://extensions/)
• Click to check Developer mode.
• Click Load unpacked extension....
• In the file selector dialog:

  • Click Open.

TISS Auto Login is now available in your Chrome browser.

Before the extension will work you need to set the credentials the extension will log you in with. You can do this by going to the extension's option page:
