When trying to import tax documents, How do I paste an "app-specific password" from clipboard into Turbotax desktop app? Want to avoid manually typing 30+ characters.

Using Windows 11 TurboTax Premier application. My broker provides the app-specific app with a "Copy" button. The copy works fine (I can paste the copied value into any other desktop app), but I can't paste the value into the TurboTax app. Is there a security setting that needs to e changed? If it can't be done at all, it reduces the value of the import feature significantly.
