It' absolutely annoying that paste is disabled in NSSecureTextField. From the docs it sounds like that really is on purpose.
That seems inconsistent, since other password fields in the user interface are pasteable, like the password textfields on web pages in Safari.
From a security point of it makes some sense to prevent pasting. You don't really want people keeping plain text versions of their passwords around. (Apple being inconsistent in its HI?! Shock horror! ;-)
I paste passwords into web forms pretty often, because Safari's autofill doesn't always work, for some reason (and some web pages explicitly disable it.)
I don't keep the passwords around in plain text, though. I look them up in Keychain Access and copy from there.
