Allow pasting when logging into a database #437

Feature Request

Problem

In order to solve easily guessable passwords, I use a password manager. However, the dialogue box to input passwords does not allow pasting meaning I have to have my password visible in plain text which is a security risk.

Requirements

Allow users to paste their passwords into matlab dialogue box.

Justification

NIST in their best practices recommends the use of a paste feature.
In SP 800-63B, NIST has not explicitly recommended the use of password managers, but recommends that verifiers permit the use of “paste” functionality so that the subscriber can use a password manager if desired.

Alternative Considerations
