I was happy when they got rid of the virtual keyboard you had to type your password onto, such a pain since you also couldn't paste into the password field to autocomplete from a password manager.

Had to constantly popup Chrome DevTools and "fix" the dom element to let paste work.



With Firefox you can set to false the about:config setting "dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled" and websites can no longer block paste.


If they let you paste your password, you might use a long, randomly generated password stored in a password manager, instead of choosing a short, easy-to-type password and using the same one everywhere.
