Yes there is for URL based wallpapers, you have to bind a hotkey to hide the icons to enable keyboard input. You can bind this hotkey in the "open wallpaper from URL" dialog or the general settings.

I just check, even with the binding for hide icons, the keyboard input doesn't work
I'm using windows 10 pro education 21H2 (19044.2130) btw

And yeah, I bind the key as Alt B, it did hide my desktop icon (not the sticky note tho), and I can't input the login info at all
Is this a bug?

nvm, just figure out the alternative methods, previewing the webpage as maximized preview and type in the login there :v

Okay, got another issue, as after I restart my desktop, the page forgot my devices and requesting login info, is there a way to automated those process?

I am afraid Wallpaper Engine does not support any sort of "advanced automated keyboard input" functionality like that for web-page wallpapers. Login screens in generally are pretty much an edge case, we tried to enable keyboard input as good as reasonably possible but Windows itself is often not too happy about keyboard presses on the desktop, so this remains more of a "we implemented it as good as reasonably possible" feature.

ah, okay, guess I'll just manually login then :v

hey any update on this? I want to log in to my Window Swap account so I can get rid of the popup on the desktop but while I can successfully click on website wallpapers I can't type into them so I can't log in

you can try to open the wallpaper in preview mode, but it can't guarantee if it work or not

Right click the live wallpaper you just create as web, go to "Play in Window" > "Full HD Preview"
try to login from there, since keyboard input work in preview mode but not as actual wallpaper
let me know if this help?
