| Jul 31, 2019 at 22:00 | comment | added | Julian F. Weinert | This is a totally stupid and douchebag move from Apple - as usual these days. And "making it harder to brute force" is simply not the case. I have an AppleScript in my dock that takes pasted text and types it as keystrokes programmatically. It's an inconvenience for the user, nothing else. | |

| Nov 24, 2015 at 15:22 | comment | added | jrg | if you're trying to mount an encrypted logical volume, as I was, then derflounder.wordpress.com/2011/11/23/… has the magic command: "diskutil corestorage unlockVolume UUID -stdinpassphrase", where UUID is the volume Id you'll see in "diskutil list" output. | |
| Apr 7, 2015 at 19:25 | comment | added | amleszk | This feature is outdated and stupid... can't use 1password at all. Can't even copy the suggested password | |
| Jan 7, 2015 at 14:31 | comment | added | Will | @drfrogsplat, exactly. This is a terrible feature—all it does is make it harder to use password managers. | |

New OS X will open the unpasteable password window unless -stdinpass is passed.

| Jan 25, 2013 at 21:47 | comment | added | jaberg | I generate and store the passwords in Password Wallet and type them into the dialog. They're not overly long, but they are random and at least to my thinking, they're secure enough. | |

| Jan 25, 2013 at 21:27 | comment | added | kbyrd | Awesome. So I'm encouraged to only use a password that I can remember and type easily. | |

For the want of an "i" the command was lost!
