Saving passwords on android

Hello,
I have a Samsung notebook 8.
I have been used to Google saving my passwords and filling them in for me.
But, there is a new security password to put in containing 12 characters when paying something. There's only one company that uses this with me, and it's Allpay.
Before when buying something I just got my bank's security page with my memorable name, and I chose 3 letters from it, but this one now, is long, and like another password.
I have the Allpay app, but Google doesn't fill in this new password, so I keep having to do it manually. On their website, Google does fill it in but the website keeps going wrong, and I can't pay.
Is there any way I can get the password put into the box on the app without manually putting it in?
Oh and I long pressed on a blank box before putting password in, and it said 'Paste', what is that about please?
Thanks
Candy

If you have long pressed on something and the option to "copy" comes up do that and then, when you want to put it into another box, you long press and then choose paste.1

a long press is like a right mouse click on a pc so if you had something previously copied a right click will offer to paste, even if it's something you don't recall copying - it stays on the 'clipboard' until something else is 'copied' there1
