How to paste into password fields in mobile Safari on your iPhone
On some sites its not possible to paste a password in a password field. Which sucks! Well this is a simple work around.
In this example I use Facebook.
On this login screen you can bring up the paste button but it is not pasting anything at all.
It becomes blue, nothing happens.
The solution, simply type some characters into the field. And tap hold until you see the menu. There press Select All.
Now you have the bogus password selected and will be able to paste your real password over the bogus one.
You can login now
