I'm doing similar thing with KeePass. While there are browser extensions to work with KeePass, I decided to not use those. I'm using Ctrl+B, Ctrl+V for user name and I'm using Ctrl+V which sends keystrokes into browser to fill password. Actually most of websites remember my login information for a long time, so this is not a problem at all. And I like to keep some sense of control over my private data.

As pointed out elsewhere in this thread, there is a danger here that you have to manually verify the origin of the page you are on, which makes you far more vulnerable to phishing attacks, which are common and can be very sophisticated (things like pages that look like normal content but change to a fake Google log in page when you minimise the page, so when you come back, it is there waiting).
