Agree. It is a stupid and antiquated idea. Two things I'd like to say though:
One: you can probably set up some form of auto-type from your password manager to get around this issue.
Two: blocking pasting is probably because password managers and operating systems must be secure when it comes to the clipboard, and clipboard management. Because if that's not safe, your passwords you are copying and pasting are not safe.
these days password managers clear the clipboard, still the clipboard is not secure which would be why some still block it.
really its an indication we need to drop User/Pass auth once and for all.
Which has always been an asinine point of view. By the time a site has blocked the paste the password is already in the clipboard. No security has been added in that regard, only frustration.
