> Of course, there are still things that I need to remember my passwords for. For example, anything I connect to via a terminal I have to be able to remember the password for because you can't paste to a terminal (at least not that I know of, if you can then someone please tell me!) I'm not sure what OS you use, but many terminal programs on Linux (and at least one on Windows) allow you to paste by right-clicking or middle-clicking. Or by pressing ctrl-shift-v, but I find that slightly awkward.

I'm using Ubuntu, I'm just a total noob that thought since Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V didn't work that all hope was lost. Clearly I was wrong.

  Alternatively, I believe you could right-click the terminal to make copypasta via the context menu.

    Indeed you can.

    Or use control+shift+c and control+shift+v in many terminal emulators. Edit: Seems I overlooked this being mentioned above. Oops.

Shift-Insert and Shift-Delete work for pasting and cutting, respectively.

  Something to keep in mind: in gnome-terminal, Shift-Insert uses the active selection clipboard, while Ctrl-Shift-V uses the copy/paste clipboard.

Some password input box's on the n900 do not seem to like paste.
