Voice Access won't Insert Shortcut into Password Textbox

I use a password manager. Every time it starts, it requires a 16-character master password, and of course, I can't use it to insert its own password. I'm tired of typing that sucker, so I created a shortcut for it in Voice Access. The shortcut works fine for regular text, but when I tell VA to insert it in a password field, it gives the message, "To securely enter a password, say 'show keyboard', then say the label for each key." Uh... no, thanks.
Please don't lecture me on password security. The only way someone will get to my shortcut and read that text is by breaking into my house, sitting at my computer, getting past login, and figuring out that I use shortcuts in Voice Access.
Is there a way to get it to insert a password in a password field?

Wouldn't think of it. Most password managers are smart. They probably can recognize when a master password is not typed in when required..
I have a password manager too. It lets me set how often I have to enter the master password rather than every time I use it or every time I go to a site where a password is required. I set mine for every 12 hours but it can be set longer. Many modern password managers support Face ID, fingerprint scanners, or Windows Hello for unlocking master PW without typing.
