Sites with dumb password rules

> My pet peeve is sites that block pasting

Firefox: about:config: dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled, toggle to "false" (default is true).

Result: websites can no longer block you from pasting things into form fields on your own browser on your own computer.

There is a Firefox extension called Don’t Fuck With Paste which let’s you toggle this per-website with a button.

In what situation would you want this enabled?

When a website is fucking with your ability to copy or paste!

I used to set this permanently, but discovered if you use facebook making status updates and comments become broken due to how fb seems to scan your input to apply styling.

But I often have to toggle it off temporarily to bypass the stupid copy/paste blocks.

You can create a bookmarklet to disable paste event listeners.

note for firefox users, that this will break copy/paste in google docs

I tried this, but this breaks some web apps where I need clipboardevents to work (e.g. Google Docs). There needs to be a more granular option for this somehow, possibly in a plugin.

Then you'll discover sites that consume your password by Javascript in the onKeyPressed event handler.

so you can paste with the menu? Because I guess they would just catch the keyboard events?

I think they must block catching Ctrl+C/V/X, because those key combos work for me with that flag.

Nope. Don’t think so.
