On my iPhone ios 15.5 I can no longer paste in passwords to apps or websites from my password manager. This is highly frustrating as they are long so would take forever to write in. It was working perfectly previously.
As noted above I am trying to paste a password from my password manager. It only doesn’t allow me to paste on my iPhone into a password block whether on chrome or even the iPhone’s own password manager.

Why can’t you paste the password? Where are you copying the password from to paste it?

Getting a Paste-able Password:
Take a screenshot, setting the password form there. See if that makes all the difference. Go here: Take a Screenshot on your iPhone - Apple Support
Lawrence I am guessing from your questions you have not experienced this before. I can paste it anywhere else except password fields. This was not the case before the previous update. It doesn’t matter where I copy it from whether a password manager or a note.
I have not experienced it on either of our 2 iPhones, 2 iPads, or 3 Macs. And I have the latest updates on all of them.
But have you checked that you successfully copied the password you want to paste, by pasting INTO into a text box? I know that some password managers will clear the clipboard when you exit the app.
And does it happen with all apps, as well as web pages, or only some apps? There are some apps that won’t let you paste passwords.
Where did the password you are trying to paste come from? That is, where did you select and copy it? What password manager? Can you paste the copied password into a text field like a Note or email?
