Scott,

Web sites that do this block the browsers save password function. The only place I haven't been able to use KeePass to populate a password field is with Windows remote desktop. The interface disables all pasting methods, although I haven't tried drag and drop yet. Windows remote desktop will save the passwords for you but I refuse to use this method as I don't trust it.
