Hello, I use an encrypted password manager to store and create unique, complicated passwords. Since these passwords are not trivial, I use the copy/paste function of the manager to paste them into password fields at various websites. The passwords are cleared from clipboard memory automatically after a few seconds. I've encountered one website that won't allow me to paste into its password field and would like to overcome this problem. I'm not sure, but I suspect that there is some code in Firefox that respects this "no pasting allowed" request from the website and I would like to change that if possible. Thanks.

This "No Pasting Allowed" is done by Javascript w/in the Form code. It has nothing to do with Firefox. If you have Javascript enabled then its going to allow for the Preventing of pasting to happen

Your Options:

  • NoScript
  • GreaseMonkey + Yes Paste Script
  • Click TOOLS>OPTIONS>CONTENT
    • Click "Advanced" next to Enable Javascript, then Uncheck "Disable or Replace Context Menus"

Some Password Managers (Browser Add-on) like LastPass (which I use) will disable the no pasting feature (autoComplete=False)

IMO Disabling Pasting of passwords is a bad choice for site. A Keylogger has a better change of catching passwords type, than a "Paste" from the clipboard

Already had Noscript installed and so I disabled script for the site in question and took care of it. Thanks for your help.
