If you disable pasting in your password field, I hate you.

@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');})()
```@haayman @brainblasted Wish there was something like this but for websites rewriting the browser navigation history.

@brainblasted Don't forget to hate people who disable paste to credit-card fields. Arr!

@brainblasted Hi Chris. If you use Firefox, one of these add-ons might help:
Paste Enabler – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)
Download Paste Enabler for Firefox. Addon that allows to paste into a web page, even if it is blocked. When you are on a web page that prohibits it, click on the extension icon. It will force the possibility of pasting.
(addons.mozilla.org)
Force Paster – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)
Download Force Paster for Firefox. This extension pastes your text even where pasting is disabled.
(addons.mozilla.org)
Don't Fuck With Paste – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)
Download Don't Fuck With Paste for Firefox. This add-on stops websites from blocking copy and paste for password fields and other input fields.

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

@brainblasted same with email addresses, tbh

@thaodan @brainblasted i don't think so, but van you give an example where it's bothering you?

@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 I had a bank that did that nonsense too. Our relationship did not last long.

@brainblasted there's a special place in hell, right after people that don't let you type out a date but force a date picker at you
@theDuesentrieb @brainblasted Especially birth date years as a separate field you have to scroll through.

@brainblasted Ctrl-V generally works.
And I never had an issue with the Auto-type from KeePass... -

@brainblasted still better than the (mostly banking) sites that encourage you to set a complex password and then ask for the 3rd, 13th and 47th letter only

@haayman @brainblasted Ever clicked on a link and couldn't go back anymore? Like when following a search result.

Fun times: the official Indian evisa website forces a date picker, which shows up localised for American-style MM-DD-YYYY, and then when you hit "next", complains that the format must be DD-MM-YYYY. (I suppose only if you are lucky enough that then day is the 13th or later — otherwise, it probably just submits the wrong thing!)

@brainblasted these people probably think "more inconvenience equals more security" -
@ben @CheapPontoon @brainblasted I may have an easier solution:

Thanks I’ll try this. Already saved the bookmarklet. -

@brainblasted I have resorted sometimes to literally editing the source code of the page. It sometimes works.

@thaodan @brainblasted only when it's opened in a new tab or window. That's normal behaviour. Sometimes search-engine let you choose whether or not to open a result in a new tab or stay in the same tab.
I do sometimes see behaviour where you can click around between e.g. photos in an article where the back-button goes back to the previous image, instead of to the previous article. In that case I really wish they didn't do that

@haayman @ben @brainblasted

@ahnlak @brainblasted Whaaaaaaaaaaaat????!!!!
