    Default How do I paste a passphrase

    Hello everyone,

    Fairly new member here and first time poster. I did a few searches but did not find any relevent thread.

    For added security on the house's Wi-Fi network, I have decided to use a passphrase instead of a password. It is 63 characters long... Using copy and paste, i was able to enter all 63 characters in all the Wi-Fi devices in the house... Except the PlayBook.

    I did create a text file which I copied to the PlayBook. From the text editor, I can copy the passphrase. I'm stuck right there as I cannot figure out a way to copy said passphrase into the Wi-Fi's password field.

    To make things really secure, I'm using a 63 characters passphrase generated by grc.com. It is using not only numbers and letters but also " *`+>`|& ? " and the likes. Basically, it is impossible to type correctly. Some symbols, don't exist on the keyboard...

    So! Is there a way to do this? Is there a way that I can paste that passphrase in the field? Or should i go back to using a long phrase that I can type with the keyboard.

    Any suggestions welcomed and thanks for your time.

    Usually you PRESS/HOLD on a field to enter Paste Mode but I'm not sure those work in the various Options menu?

    Hi F2,

    YYYEEESSS! That did the trick. The PRESS/HOLD does work in that specific field. So simple... Pressing and holding for a few seconds in the field will open a small window/icon with the paste option. You tap it and the magic happens. Now ALL my devices are highly secure.

    Thanks a million!
