I had used a website that changed the max length of passwords, but ignored, that existing ones might already have been longer.... I overcame the client side validation, but the server side validated it, too...

Good that the backend validated it, but why in god's name would you ever lower the maximum password length?!?
I made a website to test your typing speed and I felt dirty disabling pasting, but that feels like an actual good use-case.

Can confirm. Use this one myself. Because of course my bank considers pasting into the password field to be a security risk.
Just not allowing the clipboard is a legitimate security measure though. A lot of apps can read that memory space, so it's kind of a security black hole.l

Can I get one that does the same with autofill
It doesn't work all the time from what I've found. There are still websites that bypass this and fuck with paste anyways.
