Dear people who make websites,
Do you ever block your users from being able to paste into a text field?
Why?
Do you need this ability for a good reason? What’s that reason?
Or, as a user, would you like to see it go away? Perhaps you encounter sites that prevent you from pasting your super complex password from your password manager into a password field, and wonder why they can do so?
What might be the downside of removing support of disallowing pasting from the web?
