Someone mistyped, apparently. I believe they meant type into a word
processing program, such as libreoffice, or even a text file, the idea
meaning that you could copy and paste the password into something
I understand no way that any "copy and paste" from anything could eliminate an operating system requirement for password use.
I think it was suggested as a workaround, meaning you just copy and paste
the password into the string. On the other hand, as the web comic xkcd has
pointed out, a few words with spaces and/or dashes should satisfy Mint's
requirement.
