With root, yes. There's a type action and the shell command input tap (or dpad actions).

But it would be much easier to launch a shortcut to for a webpage. I beleave that's what you want.

I have a setup that will automatically log me into my bank account via Tasker. What it have setup is a widget on my homescreen that runs a task with a scene with a webview, I use this over a browser for one main reason. Because it will act when the page is loaded, not after a time limit which could not always have the page loaded. This is nice to make sure it always works.

Now I make the screen pop up and have a shell input tap and then type and press enter, shell input tap, type, press enter, and I'm all logged in. (As mine has the logon and password on 2 separate pages.

Now the biggest issue is having a variable system to know which page loaded. I have it set %run to 1, run the first set of tasks, and then add +1 to %run. Then while the page loads and finishes then it runs a set of tasks for when %run =2, and so on. This makes it so it will enter different values on the different pages.

One main catch, which would happen with the browser too, is that if it's logging in (running) and something happens, you touch screen, then it'll go crazy, but it's fixable. Once I had my phone type my password into Google now search which wasn't good but I was by myself so no one saw but there's no way to avoid accidental issues.

I have been using this system for months and actually prefer using it than on my desktop PC as it's simpler to use (press one button wait 10 or so seconds and logged in). I would give it a try if I were you.

Its under script/run shell. The command is

iput tap and the coordinates of were you want to tap

To get the coordinates turn on show touches under developer settings.
