I wonder if Shift+Insert works... (is that only a Linux thing?)

Or Rt-Click -> Paste.

To say nothing about right click - paste... unless they're doing the 1999 thing and blocking right click too (and if they are, hopefully it's with a 1999-tastic alert("Right click not allowed!");).
Sorry, I edited my post to add the right-click thing as you were creating yours...
Or click field. Go to the menu option Edit -> Paste. Let's see how they are going to dodge that with Javascript?
"You entered too many characters too quickly."
In Linux selecting text and middle-click has saved me countless times
I would like to write some company that does this and say "control V doesn't work but I can paste the password in using the following methods.... this is a problem because it keeps me from using proper security for passwords on my clipboard. Can you please fix? PS Can I follow up with your PCI auditor directly?"
Shift-insert has worked on Windows as far as I go back (3.1).
