Can't Copy/paste Sign In?

What the heck are you guys thinking? Why do you block copy & paste on the Bitdefender sign in window?

Do you think that is a security feature? If so, please explain to me how forcing me to manually type in a short, easy to type, password is more secure than copying/pasting a 40 character random password generated by my password manager?

Or are you seriously suggesting that I should type out by hand something like this: uUM.bfZp(wMueTbh`pLcIxn6.c$D)VK+a=3JDZkQ

without making any errors?

If you're using a right-click to paste, try instead to use Ctrl-v (copy your password, left click on the empty password field, press and hold the Ctrl key and tap the V key).

I can right-click paste from my password manager into pretty much anything, though at some sites and in some apps I need to use Ctrl-v.

It all depends on several factors - which Bitdefender you're using, the URL or your "sign in window," browser and extensions/plugins, password manager, Windows version, additional running processes related to security and privacy. Absolutely none of which you bothered to detail. What the heck are YOU thinking?

dallas7,

No copying and pasting doesn't work in the registration window BAFE, nor Ctrl -V, not the Manager password and never worked.

I signed up just to complain about the same thing. This is incredibly stupid. Can't control-V. Can't right click paste. Can't even have KeePass autotype because the ****ing window disappears as soon as you click away.

It's like you went OUT OF YOUR WAY to prevent using a password manager with Bitdefender. Your developers and/or requirements definers are ******.
