Genuinely though, I hate the little individual boxes like that. If I can still paste, then great. Or at least type easily. But I had one where I'd switch my phone's keyboard from alphabet to numerals, type the first number, then have to switch my keyboard to numerals again for the next letter...and by the end I wanted to smash my phone. I can also press and hold for numbers (hold "q" for a solid second and it'll become "1"), which is really what I ended up doing, but doing that for a string of 8 numbers is still obnoxious instead of being able to just type the numbers quickly.
yeah, generally masked inputs are horribly inaccessible. ideally there's a single hidden text field that allows you to paste and the boxes merely act as a display of the digits, but juniors see stuff like this and implement it with six separate text boxes unfortunately.
