APi key of octoprint to prusaslicer

I used to be able to paste my api key from octoprint in the popup for add a physical driver, But no more.I don't want to type the complete apikey by hand. Is it posible to repair this funcion in the popup window to add a physical printer? I found a work around and change the  [physical name].ini and here you can paste the apikey and  it will apear after you saved it again in the popup window of the add phycial printer, but it seems a very complicated way. Thanks for any sugestion.

Did you try this on the tab "Physical Printer"? There is no such option there.

I can input the API key on the tab "Printers". You have to click on the cog icon on the top row between the red X and the red question mark. This opens a dialog box with an input field for Host type, IP address and API key. See screenshot. This was made with PrusaSlicer 2.9.1-rc2. I'll check later with the final release of 2.9.1 after the build is finished. But this was like that for some time now.

Follow-up for the final release of 2.9.1: it still works the same as before. You can paste your API key into the text field and save the settings.
Did you try to follow a different procedure?

Thank you for your rapid response. The problem is: I cannot get the third field in your example window,where you have the ****, to paste my api key, that option is not available to me anymore in PrusaSlicer 2.9.1  in previous updates of Prusaslicer I could paste, which option was very convenient, if I want to change a physical printer rapidly. Thanks for trying to help me out.

RE:

The one the arrow is pointing to. Also: did you select OctoPrint in the field for "Host type"?
