>Text input-aware applications detect keyboard input through a
daisy-chain of "keyboard hooks". Some applications may break this chain
and programs later in the queue are cut off from the text input; known
programs include "Microsoft Powertoys Keyboard Manager", "VDOS",
"Microsoft Intellitype".

Close and restart PhraseExpress to re-arrange the chain of keyboard
hooks. Alternatively, exit any other application, that may listen for
keyboard input to check for interferences.
It seems you need a macro.
For instance, you could write a macro that types KING in the first field, then ARTHUR in the next one. Simulating a TAB keypress between both words should do the trick.
Create a new phrase.
In the Phrase Content frame, type KINGARTHUR.
Put the insertion point beetween KING and ARTHUR.
Click on Output, Simulate Keypress, Tab.
The {TAB} field appears in your phrase, highlighted in green. You've got a macro.
Then adjust Autotext and parameters as you wish.
However, if what you are trying to do is automate site login, I would strongly advise you to use a password manager for that, instead of Phrase Express. Phrase Express is both unsafe and overly difficult to use for such an aim.
I use Kee Pass, and can recommend it. If you need cloud sync, you might prefer something like Bitwarden or 1Password.
