Paste text even when not allowed (password dialogs etc) in macOS
Little AppleScript application for macOS which allows pasting text even when it’s not allowed (password dialogs etc). It uses virtual keyboard to type in the text from your clipboard. In other words, it tricks the program that asks for your input into thinking that you’re actually typing on your keyboard. See also the blog post with discussion.

.Alternatively, you can install it through Homebrew:
brew cask install force-paste
(click che +
sign and press shift
+ cmd
+ G
and paste the above routes).
Important note: if you're getting a "not allowed to send keystrokes" error, uninstall and repeat installation.
Copy the text you want to paste, then open the app from the Dock to have it immediately pasted.
cd Force-Paste/
./build.sh
