I came across when I tried the alternative proof of my domain. During this process it is necessary to perform a login; and this is broken/impossible. Explanation: It is not possible to paste the password into the cl-shell. It is necessary to implement/allow the paste function. Regards Andreas

Yes its possible to paste into your shell.

On windows right click the windows bar on top of the shell and select "properties" and then make sure "QuickEdit mode" is checked. You can then copy out of the shell; And paste always works on windows.

On linux/unix you need a mouse demon configured for your system to allow copy/paste of the terminal using a mouse/ Its OS specific as each tends to use its own, but I find many examples if I google "copy paste console linux"
