“There have been sites that blocked the autofilling of passwords and so on as well.”

Sites that do this irritate me so much. Ones that try to block pasting and stuff… like somebody intentionally baked that into the site. Who? And what was their rationale? Are they really so arrogant to think people are going to carefully type in some elaborate password not once but twice?

That and blocking paste in fields like bank account numbers and stuff.

Surely somebody here has been asked to implement these mis-features. Please explain what went through the heads of the people responsible for it?
