Edit: @Successful_[email protected] solved it. It says "one special character". Not "at least one".

Their desktop site is even more shitty. It won't allow right click or paste actions. There goes compatibility with password managers.
Bitwarden has a function where it types in (not pastes) the password and shows the prompt for it without right-click.
And even if theres an app for Windows (https://github.com/jlaundry/TypeClipboard) that can type it for you and even has a shortcut.
I am sure someone in the linux world knows an equivalent tool.
We use it at work to paste long passwords when remoting in.
On Mac you can use Hammerspoon and just create a shortcut to
hs.eventtap.keyStrokes(hs.pasteboard.getContents())Nice find, thanks for sharing.
For Macs (only Macs, I believe), there is StopTheMadness, which, uh well, stops the madness (test page here for some examples it can re-enable).
As a super secret dev hack may I introduce you to
shift + inserta fair few sites specifically blockctrl + vinstead of properly disabling the clipboard action and, of course, if you read this and then submit a Jira ticket to blockshift + insert... well... h8uYou can also drag the password in from another text field instead of pasting
I usually to in the developer tools and manually disable the thing preventing the paste action. It's usually a string to remove some JS or something or an Event that you need to uncheck
If you're opening up the dev tools you can also paste your string directly into
<input value="" />unless something weird is going on.*Laughs in blazor*
Aah.. I completely forgot about that. Will try next time. Also yesterday I saw Shift + F10 will show the context menu. Yet to test it on this site.
Any password manager should be able to "type in" the password. Or be a browser plugin that doesn't rely on copy pasting, but use other mechanisms to inject it directly into the field.
But yes, if that's their online portal, I am not kidding I would change banks.
