Bypass Websites that Block Copy/Paste in Input Fields

Nov 23, 2025

Do you find it annoying that some companies put a block on copy/paste on some input fields. Understandable if it is a password retype, not so much for email retype. I guess it is to double check for correctness, but it is a hell of annoyance for someone who needs to do things quickly. I found two ways to fix this:

  • Select All (or Ctrl+A) the entire content, then drag to the input field that blocks copy/paste.
  • This one is for Firefox, access about:config and change dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled to false.
