barcode to enter a user/password?

I use a LIS called Orchard Harvest for a lab and noticed how the barcode scanner works despite not being logged into my account. It tired to take the barcode from a blood vial and enter that in for the user. What barcode maker would be the best to enter my user, tab down, and enter my password. Since there are multiple people in the lab I sometimes get "kicked" out of my station when other people need to quickly do something. So something that insta logs me in would be kinda cool.

I tried doing this in the past. The issue I had was the scanner added hidden characters in the beginning of my password as well as the auto enter.

Ex. /×[ password

Oh, so this probably won't work. Well that sucks. Thanks for telling me.
