OMFG what asshole came up with the idea of blocking paste for fields? Whoever you are, get FUCKED
"bUt ItS a SeCuRiTy RiSk." Yeah maybe when most people were keeping their passwords in a spreadsheet. However now that they are all encrypted in password management programs its a vulnerability. If I can't generate a 40+ char password for your site then I will not be using your site if I can help it.
you are correct that most people dont keep their passwords in spreadsheets. a lot of people prefer a plaintext file on their desktop, or a note in their phones!
Lifehack: if you use the same password everywhere you don't have to note anything down.
bonus: make it something easy to remember, like your year of birth
For extra security change an o to a 0, hackers will never be able to break into your account if you do so.
😭
thanks grandpa, helps a lot
you should do tech support for a living ❤️
I don't even think that's what they were trying to stop, I think they just believe people making bots would only paste.
So put a timeout on too many failed logins instead.
I'm not defending the practice lmao
Probably the same ones that block “copy” for when you want to select text.
Or even better: the ones that add bullshit like "--Copied from shitheads.xyz" to all copied text
Oh, haven’t seen that one yet. Another irritation to look forward to.
In mst cases it's a simple css property.
Btw, can webdevs please stop reimplementing scroll via js? Always a slow and buggy mess.
Those same people think that colorblind people don't exist and there's no accessibility reason to select text. 😡
Financial Times does that
