All my worst experiences with password length have been banking and finance and it boggles my mind that they all get something so incredibly basic so incredibly wrong. What is it about this sector that makes it so?

  Don't forget blocking paste!
  It baffles me why so many sites block paste on bank account number inputs like it is 1995 and we are typing it from checks.

    With Firefox, if one sets the dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled about::config setting to false, then websites can no longer block paste. Your pastes will work, despite their trying to intercept and block them.
