Or training videos that pause if the window playing the video is not the last thing clicked on.

You don't need this - In about:config, set dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled to false. No Addon needed.

On Firefox it is some setting under about:config, no need for an extension.

I suspect the reasoning for it was more along the lines of "if you're pasting the password, that means you probably saved it in a text file on your desktop or something, and you shouldn't do that so let's stop you from doing it". In reality, it probably didn't work to make anyone store passwords more securely, and only made life unnecessarily harder for people with password managers

1. User pastes something into site
2. data still pasted as normal
3. JScript event clears clipboard and tells user that their clipboard was safely cleared.

Literally just as secure and better behavior. Just use your brain for a few seconds.

Edit: Actually it's MORE secure because disallowing paste leaves the password or whatever in the clipboard without the user necessarily realizing it...

Public computers should just have their pastebin locked.

They shouldn't mess with things on my personal computer.

Firefox often let's you bypass this shit with holding shift + right click or select the text you want to paste and drag and drop it into the field.

That's a security standard preventing keyloggers from guessing your credentials.

Bank developer played too much RuneScape?

They've started blocking that too on phones, which is what led to this meme lol. Curiously, GBoard has a little button on the top row that shows for freshly copied text when you go into a text field that still works, GBoard must not send the text as a paste when it's done that way. But its only visible once

My impression from when I’ve encountered this is that it is an attempt to repel bots.

hmm bots don't use keyboard or mouse copy & paste so I don't see how that makes sense?

my impression is this is just stupid product managers who don't understand why it's a bad idea to force all your users to manually type out their passwords or email addresses just because of the 0.1% of people who would copy and paste one with an error in.

Bots don't paste. If it a selenium related bot it would inject the value or type out each keypress.

It only causes real users pain

Weird, that's one character off from my Paramount+ password. I know from typing it on every fucking STB and console that I own and painstakingly quadruple-checking each character when it fails.

You'd think I'd just change to a passphrase but nah. Ain't nobody got time for that. Too busy ranting about user unfriendly problems that shouldn't exist in modern STB apps.

Nice one, so do I now!

Lol yea the comic artist needs to come up with a follow-up 4panel with extra-extra-hell lmao

If you are using Voyager you can hold down on the comment or hit the three dot button and you'll get a menu that gives you a "select text" option. I was annoyed by that until I found it.
