Hi, how do you guys handle copy and paste actions when setting up a new Linux VM and add in a difficult password during installation? You can't copy and paste in the console. There is probably a solution where I'm not aware of...
 
Using qxl/SPICE during installation sometimes works. KeePassXC can just "type" the password. Other times, I change it afterwards via qxl/SPICE (after installing spice-vdagent), virtual serial terminal or SSH.
