Hi I am trying to complete the overthewire challenges. They require you to extract passwords and login as different users to proceed. Passwords are quite lengthy and I am not able to paste the in in terminal for what I believe is OS X design. I have tried circumventing that using sshpass and putty's plink, but to no success. What way can I do that?
On macOS when terminal prompts a password it does not show entered characters but it accepts them when you enter. After you paste it with Command (⌘) + V
just hit Enter (⏎)
.
Ctrl
+Shift
+V
