Comment (by magicroundabout):

 Just confirmed that #33385 undid the work of #31226. Pasting a password
 using right-click -> paste doesn't work either. It doesn't even update the
 strength meter.

 Simpler steps to replicate on a laptop without the fuss of iOS:

 * Copy a weak password to the clipboard
 * Edit a user
 * Click the "Generate password" button
 * Right-click and paste the password in
 * Note that the password strength meter doesn't update

 I guess you could say that given the new password functionality, why would
 I want to paste a password in? But, well, I wanted to do exactly that (my
 use case was wanting to set a password that I already had stored in a
 password manager).
