If you disable pasting in your password field, I hate you. I hate you even more if you don't have a "show password" button so I can verify that I'm typing my password correctly since you won't let me paste
@brainblasted so annoying... on desktops i have a system-wide keyboard shortcut which triggers "type the clipboard contents", as a workaround.

@brainblasted I use a simple paper boolet with A, B, C, .... and pretty complex passwords with subtitution parts, some more than 20 character long. The substitution parts are not known in the booklet, only in my mind. I never trust password managers.

Oh yes, that's so bad.
I have an app here on the phone that does not allow pasting. I've been silently ranting and raging about it. Internalisation is a thing. -

Password show buttons should be de-rigour and obvious. Everyone is not entering passwords with someone looking over their shoulder, I would suggest most people are not,

@brainblasted I lived that particular moment so many times

@brainblasted Do you know what a bookmarklet is? It's a tiny javascript that you can add to your bookmarks at the top of the page. Instead of having an URL in the target, you add this script.
If you click on the link, it will find all password fields on the page and turn it into a regular input field to make the content visible. It is harmless and has no impact on the workings of the page```
javascript:(function(){
document.querySelectorAll('input[type="password"]').forEach(el => el.type = 'text');})()

@brainblasted this is all true, but my least favorite is "I'm only gonna give you three tries then lock you out". (Nobody can brute force a password in three tries, so what problem is that solving?)
