Single string paste at any time?

[Aidan Bell]

Does anyone know of app that would allow me to keep a single string available at all times, so that with a key combination I can paste it whenever I want? I don't want a password manager or a bells-and-whistles clipboard app, I just want one single password available to paste whenever I need to.
Any thoughts, anyone?
Thanks.

You could use a 3rd party keyboard that supports 'shortcuts' or 'auto-substitutions' like SmartKeyboard. That way you could store the password as a shortcut and the keyboard would replace the shortcut with your password. This, of course, is not the most secure thing in the world as anyone with the shortcut would be able to type your password, even in visible text, not to mention that it would be in plain sight inside the settings.

Thanks for that. Security isn't an issue, it's just an access code needed on a website, nothing sensitive. The keyboard idea is a great one, but I have a problem there in that it took me much heartache and a great deal of time to finally settle on TouchPal (for reasons I won't go into here!), so unless TouchPal would support such an idea, I'm afraid I'm going to have to keep searching.

This app does something siimilar: Inserty although the method seems a little strange. I haven't been able to find anything that specifically does what you're looking for easily. My first thought was to use Tasker and associate it with a gesture, or something to that effect, but I've never seen anything using gestures that works regardless of which app you're. You could use Tasker to make an icon on your home screen that loads the word(s) to the clipboard.

You could use Tasker to put whatever string you want on the clipboard if some specific event happens. The most obvious would be that it would put the string on your clipboard every time you shake the phone, but you could also have it put it there every time you opened a certain app.
