Cool now talk about how shitty banks block auto-fill on their login forms which keeps you from using it with your password managers. Oh, and no, you can't paste into those fields either cuz "security".

At least on Firefox, there's a flag you can change in the browser settings to make it so nobody can disable pasting to text fields. It has made the banking experience a lot more pleasant for me. https://www.howtogeek.com/251807/how-to-enable-pasting-text-on-sites-that-block-it/
