Question
copy-paste doesn't work from your console
How the heck do I copy or paste anything from the web console? I’ve tried both Safari and Chrome. I’m trying to get ssh to work but I can’t copy/paste keys or get authorized any other way.

Friends after ~40 min of frustration trying to copy-and-paste my original password on my first login from my Chromebook, I found an easy solution.
1) Install the “Secure Shell” chrome extension
2) run it, enter your droplet’s IP and username as “root”
3) connect
4) now for the trick: copy your password as it came on the email, and to paste it do not use CTRL-V but CTRL-SHIFT-V
done!!!
