Comment on My password is not accepted because it is too long

Don’t worry, pretty soon they will just block password managers from autofilling fields on their login page so that you HAVE to remember your password! Then you’ll be happy it can’t be that long, you can only fit so much on a post-it note on the side of your monitor

think there should be a law against blocking password managers for filling in fields.

I’ve never heard of anyone trying to do that. I couldn’t even imagine how a website could detect a password manager.

  I’ve had banks do it in the past. They have a fake input field and capture keypress events via JavaScript directly from the dom, then just make it look like your typed in to the input field. They don’t read the password from the input field, they build it up in memory from those key press events.

  I’ve seen a couple of times. It’s the same ones that block copy/paste on password fields. The workaround is to write a short python script using pyautogui or similar to “type” out the clipboard content.
