On systems that disable the pasting of passwords: could I give a special shout-out to Apple OSX which, in 2017, still refuses to allow users to paste a passphrase when the ssh agent pops up a window to request it?
- ivanhoe 9y agoThe single most annoying thing in OSX IMHO. However this little script solves the problem: https://github.com/EugeneDae/Force-Paste https://github.com/EugeneDae/Force-Paste

- scott_karana 9y agoWhen Terminal.app itself is in Secure Entry mode, you can still paste, so I don't think your hypothesis is right :/
