Any idea on how to enable paste in NSSecureTextFields?
From a security point of it makes some sense to prevent pasting. You
don't really want people keeping plain text versions of their
passwords around. Also, whatever was pasted would be left on the
clipboard. That would be very easy for someone passing by your mac
to check for. If people get used to not being able to paste, then
they won't put passwords on the clipboard in the first place.
Hm ...well, I bet joe average will receive the password, copy it into
the clipboard then try to paste ...and then realize that it does not
work and type it.
No big difference.
