One of the website UI modalities that I just *despise* are sites that block copy/paste (either via mouse clicks and sometimes also keyboard shortcuts) for filling important fields, out of some sort of misguided belief that this somehow enhances security. Actually it easily makes it worse in most cases. This is similar to sites that have crazy password rules (that they often can't even implement properly) that also tend to make security worse, not better. E.g., "Your password must contain between 10 and 22 characters, include no less than 3 characters between G and Q, at least two special characters, and a lowercase m and p. Thank you."

@lauren Also we've noticed that you switched to a different VPN exit node so we just blocked your account.It doesn't matter if you're sure it was you so we'll just force you to change your password.And you can't change it back to your old secure password that you could actually remember — just use something like IH@teApple123 and use password recovery anyway next time you have to login because you couldn't remember the digits and refused to write it down on sticker🤪
