cannot paste my metadata keychain password
Clear the input field of the &quot;mdwrite wants to ...&quot; pop-up
Get the &quot;metadata&quot; login password
Put your cursor in the input field of the pop-up
Go to the menu and under &quot;Edit&quot;, go down and click &quot;Paste&quot;.
Worked for me, because right-clicking while the mouse was in the field had the usual editing pop-up come up behind the &quot;mdwrite ...&quot; pop-up.
I'd never seen that before, but some pop-ups must have a higher priority than others ...
