Unable to paste passwords into my apps anymore

I just upgraded to an iPhone 14 from a Xs. Now when I try to paste a copied password into any of my apps, that isn’t an option. The only thing that appears when I hold my finger in the password text box is “scan text”. I was able to paste copied passwords into all these apps previously. I didn’t expect to lose function by upgrading! Please help!

Greetings Lavender_tree,

If you just tap in the empty password field, instead of pressing and holding, does the "paste" option appear?

Select, cut, copy, and paste text on iPhone - Apple Support

"Select and edit text

To select text, do any of the following:

Select a word: Double-tap with one finger.
Select a paragraph: Triple-tap with one finger.
Select a block of text: Double-tap and hold the first word in the block, then drag to the last word.

After selecting the text you want to revise, you can type, or tap the selection to see editing options:

Cut: Tap Cut or pinch closed with three fingers two times.
Copy: Tap Copy or pinch closed with three fingers.
Paste: Tap Paste or pinch open with three fingers.
Select All: Select all the text in the document.
Replace: View suggested replacement text, or have Siri suggest alternative text.
Format: Format the selected text.
: View more options."

Take care.

If I just touched the field, nothing came up as an option other than the ability to use the keyboard. However, for some reason, the issue seems to have fixed itself. Now, “paste” and “scan” both show up as an option. No idea what caused it to change, but I’ll take it.
