at least on the banking side, i do suppose that is a good thing. looking at all the scammer payback videos, most of the scammers take your remote tool, make you open the banking website and then they edit the source, reload and here is your money. Indian banks don't let you do that, they make you give an OTP for every transaction, if you reload, you get logged out, you can't paste or open inspect element which actually makes these scams very very difficult on indian netbanking customers.... that makes me wonder,why don't american banks have reload security for one? like if you reload a page it should log you out?

  > Indian banks don't let you do that, they make you give an OTP for every transaction, if you reload, you get logged out, you can't paste or open inspect element [...] I don't see how these four things are related. Banks in the Netherlands require 2FA (i.e. smartphone or dedicated 2FA device) for every transaction, but this does not prohibit you from pasting an account number or reloading the page. In particular, I don't see how opening the developer tools and reloading the page are related. If you reload a page, changes you made using the developer tools are lost.

  > like if you reload a page it should log you out? why would you do that? reloading is a normal process, what if you are on a bad connection and sometimes files don't load? you hit reload and now everything works...

one of my least favourite things about the GCC countries is an apparent enduring fascination with disabling paste on password fields
