I completely understand your frustration, I really hate it, too, but to let someone confirm their email address allowing copy-pasting would make the check useless. Then we can just drop this patch and live with FS#45792.
Any thoughts on this?
As far as I am concerned, do whatever you want. Lastpass overrides the autocomplete=off setting, anyway.
I'd prefer not to add ugly javascript hacks that only work in one or another browser that only serves to babysit users.
Agreed, we should not dictate whether the user can copy-paste data or not. The duplicate field makes it clear that it is important to get the email address right. If a user decides to bypass the check, so be it.
Phew, actually I'm glad you dislike this stupid behaviour.
I wonder whether, instead of (in addition to?) this patch, we should add a notice that getting the email address right is very important and that you will be locked out without any chance to recover if you make a typo.
I'm more in favour of a message only, entering email addresses twice is a nuisance and if you can copy-paste the data, it doesn't serve a purpose other then to frustrate a user (I fear lots of people don't understand the meaning of the same field twice). Instead showing a notice seems better to me, though it doesn't look that nice: https://ptpb.pw/em7S.png Suggestions?
