My bank used to not let me type one longer than six (6) characters!
My bank disables paste as has code checking if the browser is greater than Netscape Navigator 4.
Goddamn I really hate that shit.

I wrote a TamperMonkey script. 😅 I needed to so I could use my password manager. How dare I.
Should be a general web dev usability note: always aim to make your code to be friendly for scraping & userStyles/userScripts. If a client isn’t updating shit, at least users can easily fix things. This is also another point against this Tailwind-only trend since you tend to lose anything semantic in the DOM & have nothing to select on.
Yup. My bank was even "translating" passwords to PINs behind the scene specifically so your password for the website would be the same as your password on the telephone.
