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?

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

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