Password Manager unfriendly sites : WIRED

I've just come across this link that forum users here might be interested in:

Great article. These websites just who do this are just a pain, and just ask people to "use an easy password".

Perhaps this is a good place to remind 1Password users of an approach to re-enable pasting on sites that prohibit it.

Re-enabling Password Pasting

And this for Firefox users:

Here is another one from Troy Hunt with input from Agilebits's @jpgoldberg :

@hawkmoth, The links favour PCs and laptops. It will be harder to make it work on iOS.

@wkleem - The first link I put in my previous post is for a bookmarklet, which, when added to Safari on a Mac will transfer to iOS mobile Safari, if bookmarks are set to sync to iCloud. I can verify that this works as described.

wkleem

Thanks. I'm mostly on Windows these days, I'll try it out on Yosemite when I get the chance to do so. I've turned off iCloud as I didn't want iCloud Drive, having iOS 7 and 8 devices.

Also, the second link applies to Firefox, and that would be for any platform on which Firefox is available. Alas, not good for iOS, though.

Hi @wkleem,

Thanks so much for sharing that article - it's a great one! :)

And Windows itself does not allow pasting from the clipboard for a Login, which is VERY useful for VM-based systems.

@MrC: Good point. I guess I've become desensitized to this over the years, but now my rage has been rejuvenated! :rage:

This should really be called "The List of Shame" or something. :lol:

@hawkmoth: Awesome tips! Thank you! :)
