Context is that I had to register for a lot of accounts recently and some of the rules really make no sense.
Not name-and-shaming, but the best one I’ve seen recently is I might have accidentally performed an XSS attack on a career portal using a 40-digit randomly generated password…
Not allowing you to paste a password, so you have to type it manually every time.
I’ve noticed this with ACH routing forms on many financial websites. You can’t copy the routing number nor account number—no—thou shalt key in by hand instead.
Never understood the logic here, do the developers want you to make a mistake?
The’logic’ behind it is that if you copy/paste, then the confirmation box is basically useless. If you copied the wrong account of just part of it, your for sure going to paste in the exact same thing without really checking. Not that it’s a good reason, but at least there’s some logic
Well if you’re going to hijack my paste command just hide the confirmation box ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Most password managers will have an auto type (not auto fill, that is different) so you can still automate your login.
