    @brainblasted Do you know what a bookmarklet is? It's a tiny javascript that you can add to your bookmarks at the top of the page. Instead of having an URL in the target, you add this script.
    If you click on the link, it will find all password fields on the page and turn it into a regular input field to make the content visible. It is harmless and has no impact on the workings of the page

    ```
    javascript:(function(){
    document.querySelectorAll('input[type="password"]').forEach(el => el.type = 'text');})()
    ```

      If you disable pasting in your password field, I hate you. I hate you even more if you don't have a "show password" button so I can verify that I'm typing my password correctly since you won't let me paste

      @brainblasted this is all true, but my least favorite is "I'm only gonna give you three tries then lock you out". (Nobody can brute force a password in three tries, so what problem is that solving?)

        @brainblasted My previous bank has not only disabled "paste" in their iOS banking app login - they even implemented their *OWN ON-SCREEN KEYBOARD* for passwort entry.. (and that one was hardcoded to German qwertz layout ..)

          @Larvitz @brainblasted For ultimate security, they should invent some special characters that are only found on their custom keyboard, and then require you to use them in your password. 😉

            My password manager has an autotype function, rather than pasting the password, it sends the username and password as keystrokes.

                  @CheapPontoon @brainblasted if you can find the password input field in the developer console, you can manipulate it directly

                  1. Ctrl+Shift+i to open the developer console in most browsers. If the website tries to stop you, you can do it in the address bar so it doesn't have a chance to intercept.
                  2. Go to the first tab (the one that has a bunch of lines of text starting with <) and find the password input. There's a button in every browser's developer tools to pick an element using your mouse, which can help on pages with complicated markup.
                  3. If there's not a text box at the bottom of the developer tools, hit the ESC key once to bring it up.
                  4. With the <input type="password" element still selected, type $0.value in the text box and press enter to see what password is in the box.
                  5. You can also type $0.value = prompt() to get a text box controlled by your browser that you can paste the password into

                      @brainblasted it’s right up there with asking for my email on one page then the password on the next bonus fail points if you make me a click a send 2FA email button instead of just doing it Automatically.

                        Agree. Giving side eye to Apple on latest MacOS version. My passwords are alphabet soup and I want to just a mouse-over to show and proof. Plus make the field big enough for a good PW. Mine are usually 20 to 26 characters. If the front disappears, I can hardly proof it.

                            @brainblasted The next after that are those who mark the username field as a password or remove the ability to use a password.
                            I hate making me wait for your email.

                                    It's like, "Bitch, don't assume you know my threat model".

                                          @haayman @brainblasted Wish there was something like this but for websites rewriting the browser navigation history.
