Duplicate backslashes after pasting a password

[arkare]

Description: When attempting to create a new account, verify the email address, and set a password, an issue arises when pasting the password from a password manager using the CTRL+V shortcut. The problem occurs during the input of the password, resulting in unintended backslash duplication.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a new user account.
2. Verify the email address.
3. During the password creation step, paste the following password: AUE:aild>WC\$Wp=Ao@H.
4. Attempt to log in.

Observed Behavior: Upon careful investigation, it was discovered that the input in the third step duplicates backslashes when pasting the password using CTRL+V. Consequently, the password is transformed from AUE:aild>WC\$Wp=Ao@H to AUE:aild>WC\\$Wp=Ao@H.

This results in the following sequence:

• Original: AUE:aild>WC\$Wp=Ao@H
• First Paste: AUE:aild>WC\\$Wp=Ao@H
• Second Paste: AUE:aild>WC\\\\$Wp=Ao@H

This behavior is unexpected and can potentially lead to login issues for users relying on password managers.

Expected Behavior: The system should accurately accept and store the pasted password as it is, without introducing additional backslashes, ensuring that AUE:aild>WC\$Wp=Ao@H remains unchanged.

@arkare can you tell me which password manager you're using?

It's KeePassXC. Thanks for the fast reply.

Hello @arkare,

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to replicate your issue. Is it possible you're making use of some script or functionality to auto paste from KeePassXC that may be causing trouble?
