Google Chrome has an add in called "Don't F*ck With Paste" that can undo this foolish web behavior.
I notice there are HUNDREDS of requests to get Intuit to stop behaving like this since 2019, so it occurs to me that this entire "improvements" site is in fact another time waster since they've managed to ignore it for over 4 years now!
But there is another SECURITY reason to allow paste... key loggers don't know what was pasted... but they can track what is typed. In fact some of the premium plugins will replace typed characters with an on-screen keyboard. Key loggers can't see that behavior either. In short, for all the inconvenience generated, there is also a very real possibility that forcing someone to TYPE anything INCREASES the security exposure.

Agreed. Silly to make the user type in a number that they've copied and pasted already.

Agreed. It's 2019. Don't make the payment process a pain when copying and pasting directly from the bank account is faster, simpler, and more accurate.

I agree, especially with password management software that will fill out forms like these automatically. Not being able to paste in the field makes the experience 10x slower than it would be without the restriction.
