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.

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.

[–] renzev@lemmy.world 14 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Or even better: the ones that add bullshit like "--Copied from shitheads.xyz" to all copied text

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Oh, haven’t seen that one yet. Another irritation to look forward to.

In mst cases it's a simple css property.

Btw, can webdevs please stop reimplementing scroll via js? Always a slow and buggy mess.

Those same people think that colorblind people don't exist and there's no accessibility reason to select text. 😡

Financial Times does that
