    Try something like FingerTips if you really want to. But it's not secure at all, so I suggest you use a password manager instead (e.g. Lastpass).

    If you use voice recognition software Dragon NaturallySpeaking (Windows/Mac, non-free), you can create a voice command to paste some text, it's straightforward to do.

AutoHotKey

You can use AutoHotKey to bind any key combination to perform an action. In case of pasting text, you can use the Send command. Here is an example:

#g::Send p4ssw0rd

Save the above command in an ahk file and run. The hotkey Win+g now binds to the string p4ssw0rd. You can learn how to further configure the hotkeys in the tutorial

Note that this is not a safe way to store your passwords, since anyone using your computer could paste them in any text field.
