Pasting Passwords to 10099's

For many years now I've used AutoHotKey to circumvent TT's archaic prohibition on pasting passwords to financial institutions in order to import 1099's and W2's.  Neither CTRL-V nor WIN-V are allowed by TT. I use a password manager and complex character string passwords of 32+ characters, nearly impossible to type correctly made even more arduous by TT's blocking the display of my typed string! Now most of the financial institutions use PassKeys which cannot be typed, so I have to revert to less secure passwords. So I'm frustrated once again by TT's seeming ignorance of best technical practices not to mention their customers' safety and satisfaction.  So pragmatism will likely prevail next year and I'll pass by the TT display at Costco and look online for a TT alternative.
