why would you want to stop paste? don't mobile devices have things like keypass? (i don't own a smartphone, but paste all passwords on my computers).

- jschmitz28 14y agoIt makes sense to paste your password when logging into an account, but from what I read this is just on the password reset. They probably want people to actually type their new password twice instead of typing it once and then copy/pasting for the second field.
- LoganCale 14y agoWhat about people who use password managers to generate random passwords and paste them into the fields?

- jfb 14y agoIt's not insane, but it does increase the burden on those of us who use password generators. There is NO excuse for the sloppiness of the implementation, however.
- scjody 14y agoPayPal does this too. I don't get it. (Other than PayPal are jerks anyway so this fits.)
- rat87 14y agoif you don't have something like mobile keepass(or you don't have a current password file, i don't think keepass for android can add passwords) or the app prevents you from pasting the password, entering a long complicated password can be difficult. Pasting helps improve the likelyhood of long complicated passwords.
