I have a password that's 20 characters long and needs renewal every 12 hours for work. Yesterday's password expired, which is why I dislike typing it. On a Windows 10 machine, copying and pasting works fine, but on a Windows 7 system the clipboard isn't enabled. I made an AHK macro to type it, but it keeps showing as incorrect. Typing it normally works, yet the macro fails. Why does this happen? Can UAC spot a macro and block it? I've tried adding delays between characters, but the problem persists. Help needed!

A simpler option is a password manager that also offers Auto-Type. KeePass/KeePassXC does this, though I’m not sure about others.

Use SendInput with {RAW}PASSWORD. You can also right-click the script at the bottom and choose open. Then in View, select "Variables and their content." Check if there are any extra characters listed. If you're not using {RAW}, it might be used as a stop character.
