I ran into this when trying to paste my generated password into the password field on some kind of financial site and I think it is still the most egregious case of security theater I’ve seen yet.
Anyway, you want the “don’t fuck with paste” extension, available on both chrome and firefox.
Nice, didn’t know about that one. I imagine there are side effects to disabling it globally though? Those goofy OTP code inputs implemented as six single digit inputs jumps to mind, they probably rely on the paste event. The extension works similarly but lets you only enable it for problematic sites.
I have an auto hotkey script that I always have running. It just takes my clipboard and sends the key presses to type it in when I press Ctrl + shift + v.
I just found it recently when DFWP failed to allow me to paste on a site (which happens quite often in my experience).
I had the same thoughts about this setting but so far I haven’t noticed anything. I keep it open in a tab in case I need to toggle it though.

You don’t need this - In about:config, set dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled to false. No Addon needed.
The comment hero!

It gets me around most of this sort of bullshit.
