    Hi,

    Possible duplicate, but a quick forum search didn't yield anything. Before being able to launch a VM, users must log in through the desktop app. However, I cannot paste my long & randomly generated password. Paste works fine in the Email field, so this limitation appears to have been implemented intentionally on the password field.

    Forcing users to manually type their passwords encourages bad behaviour. People will configure weaker/more predictable passwords. For that reason it is also recommended against by organisations such as NIST: https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-4/sp800-63b.html#passwordver.

    replying to my own post as i cannot seem to edit or delete it. This is in the wrong place and should go in the feature request forum. There is mention of this subject there, but only as a mention on another topic.
