I have now installed the GUI on a Mac (OS 10.11.6). I'm setting up the first job and have two issues.

I don't have a direct answer, but it seems both points are connected. Have you read this: https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy/wiki/Managing-Passwords ?

This is the Duplicacy CLI version asking for the permission to read credentials stored by the GUI version. You should click Always allow
or Allow
, otherwise the CLI version would not be able to read any credentials and hence the 'Failed to load...' errors with the B2 storage.

Thanks Christoph and gchen. That was the issue.
But now I have another problem. Please tell me I'm doing something wrong, but it appears I cannot paste my storage password into its fields in the storage setup. If this is correct it is a big problem. My storage password is very long, and is an entirely random string of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special symbols. And I have to type it character-by-character correctly, twice. I've spent some minutes trying to do this already, without success.

With the help of another human, I got this done, and the initial backup of the Mac is underway. But my initial plea remains: You can't be serious about not allowing pasting into these fields. Am I right?

I fully agree. I seem to remember having raised that very same issue a while ago (can't seem to find it now, though).

This is a limitation of wxWidgets. I'll try to find a workaround.
