Where does google prevent that? I tried on the web login page and I can paste without problem. I'm not sure why they'd prevent you from pasting your login in the first place.

In general there's always a simple way to bypass these websites limitations, like those who try to disable the right click.

Maybe it's a "security feature" of some AV software or IE/edge. Wouldn't surprise me.

I didn't mean to insult you :)

Since you talked about your "(work) username" I thought your employer chose your OS/browser for this particular case.

I didn't take it as an insult :)

While my employer does not chose my OS/browser I am in the lucky situation that most of us use Linux with their favorite distro.

gmail.com (would not be surprised if the pages are browser and country specific, at least google.com is) I use Firefox.
