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.

Man, that extension fucked with my Vivaldi. I couldnt send msgs on Twitch, couldnt delete cells on GoogleSheets and spent like an hour trying to figure out what caused it. Not worth the trouble tbh

Also on vivaldi, I now have three extensions that destroy half the pages on the web (and save the other half). With a little bit of whitelisting or just temporarily enabling, they work fine.

You go to the offending page, click on the extension icon and it should remove the restrictions (if it doesnt work, you can try changing some of its settings)

I ran into this when trying to paste my generated password into the password field on some kind of financial site and I think it is still the most egregious case of security theater I’ve seen yet.

Anyway, you want the “don’t fuck with paste” extension, available on both chrome and firefox.

[hikaru755@lemmy.world]

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

I believe you can hold ALT then select on Firefox when that comes up, but I don't think I've seen it in years.

It doesn’t work much of the time, in my experience. I followed this note on the reviews for the extension and it did work, though I’m not sure what the full implications of it may be as yet:
“You don't need this - don't use an addon that has access to your copy/paste and does who knows what with it. about:config, set dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled to false. No Addon needed.”

[maccentric@sh.itjust.works]

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

[maccentric@sh.itjust.works]

In about:config, set dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled to false.

Public computers should just have their pastebin locked.

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

If all the other things fail, you can still use an auto-typer.

On macOS:

Love that Keyboard Maestro has an “Insert Text By Typing” feature/macro where text streams from your cursor
