I'd suggest you copy and paste the encyrption key of your choosing to a txt
file
Save to a floppy disk (or USB key)
Open the txt file on the other computer, and copy and paste it
Short of inability to select the whole encyrption key, I'd trust copying and
pasting a whole lot more than you reading and then typing the key (no
offence of course).
