TBF, I kind of get it. If someone is using a public computer you wouldn't want someone to be able to sign into a site they left open because they copied their password.

However, this won't prevent anyone from copying the password into something like notepad and just typing it out. So in the end, it's useless and makes things less user friendly. Which is what I expect these days.

  1. User pastes something into site
  2. data still pasted as normal
  3. JScript event clears clipboard and tells user that their clipboard was safely cleared.

Literally just as secure and better behavior. Just use your brain for a few seconds.

Edit: Actually it's MORE secure because disallowing paste leaves the password or whatever in the clipboard without the user necessarily realizing it...
