So you need the enter key to do the same as the login button. I think that is all that you are asking for. I am sure there are many ways to do that. One way is to use a client-side JavaScript function that is executed for the "OnKeyPress" event for the username and password buttons. The function could be similar to:

function CheckKey() {
event.srcElement.focus();// This might not be necessary
switch (event.keyCode) {
case 13:
// do the same as is done in the OnClick of the button
break;
}
}

Note that you can use an if statement instead of a switch statement but if you want to check for other keys then the switch statement would be better.

How do you want to login? Are you the developer of the page? If not, then I think you must talk with the developer or someone familiar with the application. What is the application?
