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.
Or Rt-Click -> Paste.

I wonder if Shift+Insert works... (is that only a Linux thing?) Or Rt-Click -> Paste.

To say nothing about right click - paste... unless they're doing the 1999 thing and blocking right click too (and if they are, hopefully it's with a 1999-tastic alert("Right click not allowed!");).
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…
In fact, I'm pretty amazed that things even work at all. The amount of random connectors and systems is mind boggling.
Some examples: A Tandem system used for nothing BUT ftp from telco switches for call details. Multiple enterprise message buses. Systems with only object files and no source. The list goes on...

And why prevent paste? Just ran into this recently on paypal when I wanted to change my password. I generated one in passpack and tried to paste it in, no can do. Ridiculous.
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.
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).
It makes sense to paste your password when logging into an account, but from what I read this is just on the password reset. They probably want people to actually type their new password twice instead of typing it once and then copy/pasting for the second field.

SO is built with MVC, which encourages good development practices. T-Mobile looks to be using Web Forms. I'm sure there are good sites out there that use Web Forms, although as a .NET developer, I've found a that Web Forms encourages practices that I consider bad.
Oh, agreed. It's just a shame to see the whole framework judged by the crappy WebForms implementations you see out there.
