I'm trying to use Terraform for automating infrastructure deployment, but I'm not sure how to securely insert a token or password for login. I need a way to authenticate Terraform without hardcoding credentials.

Once the token is pasted, users can proceed by running the command terraform login. This command initiates the login process for Terraform, a popular infrastructure as code tool.

One method is to use the keyboard shortcut ctrl + shift + v. This combination allows for quick pasting without needing to click with the mouse.

Another alternative is to use shift + Insert. This key combination serves the same purpose as ctrl + shift + v, providing a second option for those who prefer different key placements.

A third way to paste is by right-clicking within the terminal window. Upon doing so, a context menu will appear, offering various options. Among these, there will be a "Paste" option, which can be selected to insert the clipboard contents.
