And/or to disable the ability to paste into a text field, requiring you
to type the password in. Not so easy when it's 20 random characters ...


E.g., using a password manager.

In Firefox, you fix that by going to "about:config" & setting
"dom.event.clipboardevents.enable" to "false".


Many thanks for that. Is there also a method of forcing the characters
to be displayed as themselves instead of asterisks?


The Web Developer extension does this - and lots more.
