Preventing users from pasting their passwords is quite irritating. I don't even understand the idea behind it. Most likely some developer saw a non-technical user copying/pasting from a plain-text password file, and "had a great idea" to discourage that kind of behavior.
To get around sites that do this, I inspect the HTML and add my password via the value="" attribute on the input element.
