    Unfortunately a number of websites don’t let you paste into a form. Is there an alternate method to do so which would bypass this?

    That’s the way the default clipboard works on the device. If you want to be able to paste multiple items, you’ll need to find a clipboard app to install in the Google Play store.

    This article states how to copy and access the cliboard but not how to literally paste a specific item. I know all but the last item. I copied something a few days ago., I go to the cliboard where there are many items and select the one I want but it always pastes only the last item. How do I paste an older item on the cliboard?

Did this help? Let us know!
