Allow password pasting in the browser (on Firefox):

10/12/2025

On some websites, when trying to register (or just change a password), you may encounter two input fields:

  • The first field where you can enter the password (and where pasting from the clipboard is allowed).
  • The second field where pasting is disabled to force manual re-entry of the password.


This setup is particularly frustrating, especially when using complex passwords that are generated by dedicated software (like Keepass) and stored in the clipboard for a few seconds. Is it even useful to enforce this double entry?

Here's how to allow pasting in Firefox for this type of field:

  • Open a new tab and enter about:config.
  • Search for dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled.
  • Set it to false.
  • Return to the previous tab and paste your password.
  • Set the dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled back to true.
