Using ssh within powershell, it is impossible to paste the password during login, unlike normal shell, where paste also works for the password.

Why?

    Normally pasting should be done by a right click.
    So once it prompts for the password copy it from somewhere, then right click in the console and hit enter.
    This still doesn't work for you?

    Hi @StefanFI ,

    Please try right click to paste and then press enter. What do you mean by "normal shell"? CMD?

    Best Regards,
