GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 778662
Cannot paste password in Microsoft live account sign-in
Last modified: 2021-07-05 10:58:51 UTC
I tried setting up my Microsoft Account in Settings -> Online Accounts. After the sing-in page opened, I tried to paste my password copied from KeePass. Unfortunately, no method of pasting worked, Ctrl+V, middle mouse button, nothing. I had to type-in my password manually, and this was quite cumbersome considering it has 30 characters.
Same here with Keepassx. What works is to put the password from Keepass(x) to a text editor and then copy and paste it from there to online account settings (so you do not have to type the pw manually). No solution, I know, but a workaround. Anyone working on this bug?
Same here but for a facebook account. Cannot paste my password. On Debian Stretch with Gnome 3.22.2
Same for Google accounts. Cannot paste username/email and password. As far as I recall it used to work before.
Still present as of release 3.26.2-1 on Arch Linux.
Same in 3.28.0-0ubuntu2.1. Re-raised here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-online-accounts/issues/17
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-online-accounts/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
