How to paste into password fields in mobile Safari on your iPhone
On some sites its not possible to paste a password in a password field. Which sucks! Well this is a simple work around.
In this example I use Facebook.
On this login screen you can bring up the paste button but it is not pasting anything at all.
It becomes blue, nothing happens.
The solution, simply type some characters into the field. And tap hold until you see the menu. There press Select All.
Now you have the bogus password selected and will be able to paste your real password over the bogus one.
You can login now

FRITZ!Box
Setup the VPN settings on the FRITZ!Box with a VPN config file.
Save the content below to a file named vpn.cfg
vpncfg {
connections {
enabled = yes;
conn_type = conntype_user;
name = "YOUR_MAIL_ADDRESS";
always_renew = no;
reject_not_encrypted = no;
dont_filter_netbios = yes;
localip = 0.0.0.0;
local_virtualip = 0.0.0.0;
remoteip = 0.0.0.0;
remote_virtualip = VPN_CLIENT_IP;
remoteid {
key_id = "YOUR_MAIL_ADDRESS";
}
mode = phase1_mode_aggressive;
phase1ss = "all/all/all";

}
}
phase2remoteid {
ipaddr = VPN_CLIENT_IP;
}
phase2ss = "esp-all-all/ah-none/comp-all/no-pfs";
accesslist = "permit ip any VPN_CLIENT_IP 255.255.255.255";
}
ike_forward_rules = "udp 0.0.0.0:500 0.0.0.0:500", "udp 0.0.0.0:4500 0.0.0.0:4500";
}Replace the below values with the right settings for your network, I'll describe it with the default router values.
- YOUR_MAIL_ADDRESS, replace this with your mail address.
- VPN_CLIENT_IP, replace this with something like 192.168.178.201.
- YOUR_SHARED_PASSWORD, replace this with your own preferred shared password.
- YOUR_USERNAME, replace this with your VPN username, use [a-z] only.
- YOUR_PASSWORD, replace this with your VPN password, mind quote signs!
This configuration has been tested on iOS and Mac OS X, check the manuals below to configure your client.
