Remove websites' ability to disable copy/paste in password fields

[fmarier]

Some websites disable copy/paste in password fields, which means that some password managers can't be used and therefore forces users to use memorable (hence insecure) passwords.

I'm not sure what mechanism they use for this, but we should take this anti-user capability away from them.

Here's an example:

1. Go to https://fsrauthserv.connectresident.com/core/registration.
2. Click on "Create Account".
3. Fill out the form.
4. Put in the code received by email.
5. Try to set the password by pasting into the fields.

Desktop now has the Force Paste option which is great 😄 (was tracked with #22567)

We do need to get this on Android though

Oh, really? I spent a good amount of time looking for this yesterday. "Paste" didn't return anything when I went searching in settings also.

@drstevens try right clicking any text field; you should see a Force Paste option. Doesn't look like there's a keyboard shortcut for it though

Just found the Force Paste feature, and i'm delighted that it finally exists! I tried a couple of 3rd party extensions with mixed results.

On MacOS, we can update keyboard shortcuts with the OS on a per app basis, so I could overwrite cmd-v to Force Paste instead of the default Paste... but that begs the question, is there a time where someone wouldn't want to Force Paste? I'll have to dig into the feature a bit further, but ideally what i'd like to see is a setting to enable Force Paste as the default Paste option for all of Brave, so that users can toggle it on/off as they like.
