My favorite is when sites completely disable pasting my bank account number.
Oh, let me get out my bifocals and checkbook that I copying from... and definitely not my online banking we've had for two decades+.

I wonder, what is the rationale for this "security feature"?

Wise for example, allowed me paste the password for creating account or changing the password. Password was 20 characters long, but seems like they cut it on client side or backend to 15. So when you login, it does not cut the password, and I never could figure out why I could not login in some places.
So one dump rule creates another
“We want to make sure the user gets this right. So instead of letting them just hit Ctrl+V let’s make them type the whole thing, introducing all sorts of possibilities for errors!”
