While working on my taxes in Windows Desktop turbotax Premier, I went to import brokerage info. This requires logging in to the brokerage via turbotax.
I use a password manager; this is not all that uncommon any more. I use long, fully random strings for passwords.
Turbotax apparently has decided that pasting in a password is "bad".
Even the most facile investigation of best security practices should disabuse any developer of the notion that pasting passwords presents some sort of 'threat' or 'weakness', nor does it help in entering said password accurately.
I realize no devs are likely to read this. But on the unlikely chance one might do so, please consider investigating this a little deeper. There is NO benefit to preventing pasting passwords. None.
Thank you kindly,
a grumpy old ex systems administrator
