paste ssh password fails

Open uloco opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

When pasting my password during a ssh login, it always says wrong password. If I just paste the password in plaintext into my terminal, it is copied the right way. If I type in this pasted password manually, I can login.

Looks like something is happening to my password, when pasting into a stdin read from ssh login (or other read inputs). The password contains [a-z][A-Z][0-9] and the exclamation mark !

Hey, thanks for your report. hyperterm-paste does automatic escaping of various characters etc. which probably modifies your password. Try "raw" paste with CMD+Shift+v

I tried it, but it looks like, the paste command pastes the copied input sometimes two times concatenated.... Is this a known issue?
