I too have experienced that problem a number of times, but it does not consistently happen. Sometimes I create a long password in the browser helper (OSX Mavericks Safari) and copy it into the clipboard to paste directly into the 1Password app. Yesterday, I was changing a number of passwords on assorted Web sites. Three or four times during the session 1Password would not allow me to paste it over the old password. I was DEFINITELY in the edit mode, so this was not the issue. ... Geraldvk
