    My impression from when I’ve encountered this is that it is an attempt to repel bots.

    Speculating/knowing about the reason doesn’t help when I’m confronted with having to input the password *6mA*P7CCuVyHo8kh%x34!63wm23&uhzSMY3Xy3$*8^%7j$VeH^7

      Bots don’t paste. If it a selenium related bot it would inject the value or type out each keypress.

      It only causes real users pain

      Weird, that’s one character off from my Paramount+ password. I know from typing it on every fucking STB and console that I own and painstakingly quadruple-checking each character when it fails.

      You’d think I’d just change to a passphrase but nah. Ain’t nobody got time for that. Too busy ranting about user unfriendly problems that shouldn’t exist in modern STB apps.
