I hate password forms that do this

  I wish I didn’t have to disable clipboard events because of sites that think they know better to disable paste.

    Why do they even do that? What’s so bad about pasting into a form? Does the person who designed the form think your password isn’t secure unless it is written on a piece of paper kept in a bank vault?

      Especially when I'm pasting my routing number or bank account number. Like are you kidding me? I went into my bank app/website, I used the "copy" feature, and I'm trying to paste here AND into your "confirmation" field. Because I don't want to typo it! How could my copy skill be worse than my typing skill?

        I'm on board with not allowing paste into a confirmation field since you might have copied the wrong number so there's nothing to gain from confirming the same mistake. Imagine you're doing several transactions and on one of them, you don't quite press the copy key correctly and end up using the previous account number from the clipboard.

    Curious how you disable clipboard events? I always go into the dev console and do $0.value = '<my password>'
