I completely agree that the overall UX needs serious improvement but … doesn't your mobile device support copy and paste? I do this from time to time and while it's a bit clunky it's a lot easier than typing the password in by hand.

It does but it's almost impossible to access the Google auth page on the mobile and get the passwords.
