OSX password protected image DMG file

[conamor]

Good day,

Here is a good one. I have create a 256 AES password protected 30GB DMG file. Nothing is in it at the moment. I have created a 30 characters long password with CAPS, lowercase, numbers and special characters. When I double-click the DMG file it does ask for the password. It doesn't work when typing manually.

When I use the terminal to open the file and enter the password (Copy paste from a text file) it does open.

Yes, I have typed the password very slowly, character by character but the pop-up for the password when opening the file doesn't work. Only in the terminal with a copy paste of the password.

Could the password prompt doesn't support a specific language of keyboard? There are no accents...

Any ideas?

Can you copy from plaintext and paste into the gui prompt though?

No, by default you can copy paste to that password box. I saw that it is possible to download a 3rd party utility to do it, like a force pasting but I didn't want to get into other apps for basic stuff that should be working hehe

You said you can.. but I think you meant can't?
Ok, I wasn't sure, shame that just pasting from 1password doesn't work on double clicked protected dmg files.
By the way, I don't know why there would be poor support for the gui, when it's just a wrapper around the cli function, basically.
