    WOW, I just found the solution to the issue.

    When pasting, there is a Javascript that does NOT get activated. Unless a key is TYPED in.

     

    Pasting the password, adding a space and deleting the space triggers the JS...

    Then "Apply" works.

     

    To be fixed in front end code to allow pasting.
