Apparently to prevent paste. Their CheckEnter.js file has: function keyDown(a) { if (a.keyCode == 86) { a.preventDefault() } } And that's assigned to onkeydown... Funny enough, elsewhere in their code, they do explicitly check for Ctrl & V/C.
why would you want to stop paste? don't mobile devices have things like keypass? (i don't own a smartphone, but paste all passwords on my computers).
I hate when people disable pasting in password fields. Some of my passwords are 50 character random strings stored in 1password and sometimes I need to copy/paste and can not do it (ahem, icloud). I usually end up disabling javascript if the page still renders without javascript.

Assuming you're on Linux, you can just pipe the input into "xargs xdotool type". Thanks to the keyboard abstraction in X, no program will ever be able to tell that you didn't just type that on a keyboard.
Their entire site is a really bad example of ASP.NET development. As someone who knows the technology well, it can make great sites. It just rarely does. I like my T Mobile service but there's something odd with their backend systems and/or customer service. I logged in to disable their "WebGuard" service that seemed to be blocking pages at random. It required address and social security verification, but I couldn't…

Unfortunately, xdotool type is schizophrenic with multiple keyboard layouts http://code.google.com/p/semicomplete/issues/detail?id=13
(Though I'm not defending the X keyboard API. Linux input is a nightmare. I especially like the hard-coded list of keys in the kernel, limiting the number of unique keys that any userspace application can address, even though it's perfectly possible to plug in 128 keyboards each with several hundred keys.)

Apple does this, too. Not just on password change forms, but on login forms. Drives me nuts, as I use a password manager and my passwords are 24 characters of garbage. Edit: Apparently I can't reply to the next comment, but keepassx also has the feature that passwords are cleared from the clipboard after 30 seconds.
I ran into this same problem. Had to use the Chrome Web Inspector to get around it. I believe it's a part of PCI compliance, but plenty of sites accept credit cards without that nonsense so I'm not sure. GetGamesGo.com does the same thing.
