Hi everyone i’ve managed to come around this problem and to solve it using the java Robot with a custom keyword

`  
import java.awt.Robot  
import java.awt.Toolkit  
import java.awt.datatransfer.StringSelection  
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent

public class Authenticate {  
@Keyword  
def loginAuthenticate(String username, String password) {  
Robot robot = new Robot();  
robot.setAutoDelay(250);  
StringSelection ss = new StringSelection(username);  
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(ss, null);  
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK\_CONTROL);  
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK\_V);  
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK\_V);  
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK\_CONTROL);  
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK\_TAB);  
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK\_TAB);  
ss = new StringSelection(password);  
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(ss, null);  
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK\_CONTROL);  
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK\_V);  
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK\_V);  
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK\_CONTROL);  
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK\_TAB);  
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK\_TAB);  
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK\_ENTER);  
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK\_ENTER);  
}  
}
