Add my comments to those of many others. Someone might want to review NIST’s recommendations (which aren’t even that new), as tax2019-iinnttuuiitt suggested. Perhaps those responsible are unfamiliar with password managers. As has been noted, all this policy does is make the process less secure.
In addition to disallowing copy and paste, there is no way to show the password; with a long, hard-to-crack password, it’s easy to make a mistake. What on earth is the purpose of this? How many here livestream doing their taxes? And even if they did, would they be so foolish as to deliberately reveal the password?
Whoever thinks this is a good idea is arrogant and just plain stupid. Sorry ... I wish there were some way DOGE could go after these types of people.
