How can you tell you cannot type anything? Have you tried inputting your password and pressing enter?

The * are there to hide the length of your password in case that someone is looking over your shoulder.

Is this a new issue you're encountering? Do you know if an earlier version works for you?

ok, when i type my password it works. The issue is in the past the cursor was blinking and i was able to paste the password from the clipboard) @jesseduffield yes it is a new issue. Was working fine before. If you can't reprodue it i am gonna push the comit outside of lazygit for now.

Okay, so just pasting the password doesn't work?

Do you maybe know the version when that worked?

Ok, I did more test and it seems it is a clipboard issue in my temrinal because it works in alacritty not wsltty. Not a lazygit issue then. The only thing is in 0.37.0 version the cursor was blinking in the password prompt and you see that paste works. Has it changed in the new release to increase security? It was good to have it blinking.
