I can not type or paste my password

Hi, I am taking postgre SQL course, the instrcutor uses python anywhere dashboard where we insert our initial data baseset up user name and password. After I insert my user, I cant types or paste my password, I am unsure why that is, I am using a macbook air, chrome browser, I also went and made sure cookies were enables, javacript, networks/ firewall restriction, not sure about the browser extensions, anyfeed back and help would be appreciated.

Are you sure that you can't enter it? When Postgres prompts for a password, it disables the display of characters as you type or past them, so you won't see them appear on the screen -- this is to prevent someone from stealing your password by looking over your shoulder, similarly to how website logon pages often only show "*" characters while you're typing in a password.

Thanks for answering, it works!! It has been bothering me for a week lol.

Glad to hear that it helps you!
