Hi,
I've experienced this problem a few years ago but gave up on looking for a resolution. But now I decided to give it a try and see how long it will take to find a definite solution.

Hello,
I'm joining in here because I'm experiencing the same problem with my team using Windows 11, 1Password for Windows 8.10.18 and VirtualBox version 7.0.6 r155176 and I'm very frustrated.
In the vast majority of cases, copying and pasting a password from 1Password into a (Linux) guest machine of VirtualBox does not work. At the beginning I thought that the passwords were not saved correctly, which could not be the case as they were created with 1Password. It seems as if the shared clipboard is not updated. However, the password is stored correctly in the clipboard on the host and can be pasted into Wordpad, for example. If I then copy this password from Wordpad, I can paste it on the guest machine.
The suggested work around does not work for me. Under these circumstances, I cannot use 1Password productively. I was very surprised that this problem has been known for a long time, but there is still no solution in sight.
I would be very happy if this problem could be solved
