Ask questionsmacOS 10.15: Auto-type requires screen reader permission

Expected Behavior

I am using the shortcut ALT+SHIFT+A as my auto-type. Whenever I press that combination I expect the auto-type to start either by inputting the credentials or by showing a dialog with credential options for that website/application

Current Behavior

After updating to macOS Catalina auto-type stopped working. My shortcut starts something but for every website/application I get the error message saying: "Couldn't find an entry that matches the window title: passwords.kdbx - KeePassXC" When I check the auto-type settings for that website I also notice that the "Window title:" dropdown does not get populated with possible windows titles that are currently open.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Update to macOS Catalina
  2. Open browser
  3. Open KeePassXC
  4. Browse to website where auto-type is setup
  5. Use shortcut to start auto-type
  6. The error message should appear

Context

We use KeePassXC at work with passwords that are all generated through KeePassXC so I personally don't remember any of the passwords. Currently I manually copy and paste the credentials which is more annoying but it works for now.

You probably need to remove and readd KeePassXC to the privacy controls in settings.
