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.
Those same people think that colorblind people don't exist and there's no accessibility reason to select text. 😡
In mst cases it's a simple css property.
Btw, can webdevs please stop reimplementing scroll via js? Always a slow and buggy mess.
Financial Times does that
