@zhangsong1213 you can copy and paste from the login site provided by wandb login command. CTRL+V to paste the API key, which should be 40 characters as the message says.

Hello, I am also having troubles with wandb logging. CTRL + V does not work, I can not write by hand either. It is not receiving any input at all.
In my particular case I'm running it from the command prompt on Windows 10. I made sure to download the last version of yolov5 (few hours ago).

I have met the same problem bro，have you solved it？

I have met the same problem bro，have you solved it？

@dada1437903138 Yes! It seems that just right-clicking pastes the code. Copy code, right-click and hit enter. That worked for me :D

你的可以吗，我的还是不行呢？

手动输入了40个字符 成功了。。。哭死我

shift + insert

[glenn-jocher]

@sunhuihang glad to hear that you were able to resolve the issue by manually entering the 40-character API key. Sometimes, certain keyboards or terminal emulators may not properly support keyboard shortcuts like CTRL + V. Another alternative is to use the "shift + insert" shortcut to paste the code. If you encounter any further issues or have any other questions, feel free to ask. Happy coding!

Don't use Ctrl + V. Use Shift + Insert will solve this problem

[pderrenger]

@haochengxi thanks for sharing this helpful tip! For others encountering similar issues, right-clicking in the terminal or using Shift + Insert are common Windows paste methods. For more details on W&B integration, see our Weights & Biases integration guide.
