    Is it possible to copy/paste password when logging into MSA?


    I am wondering, whether is it possible to copy/paste the password in here?



    I have decided to use MSA and I like it, so I have changed password to be more complex and I was about to login again to confirm it and I have found out, that I can not copy/paste it. I wonder, if I changed some settings or it can not be done? Paypal did not allow it in the past, so maybe MS still uses the same policy?

    EDIT: Nevermind, I installed Bitwarden and I was able to copy/paste it from there. :)

    I also find on some sites when I right click in password area if I'm not presented with option to paste I just use CRTL-V and it works.

    Just a confirmation that Copy and Paste works a lot but if not using third-party software it's important to have the information in a text file where it can be selected but then other security issues can become involved.

    Well, I have just clean installed 19042.662 and here we go again. I can not use my MS account, darn you MS.

    EDIT: I did another clean install and it worked, but I contacted MS Support and asked them to reconsider this.

    I use a password manager, so it enters the login credentials automatically.
