    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

    I've never heard of this issue before. What happens when you right click in the password field and attempt to paste? You should see the standard OS X menu, with the paste option:

    Does that not appear, or is something else the problem?

    Also, if you don't like copying and pasting password changes, here's another way to do it:
