The virtual keyboard on the Treasury Direct login page is terrible, especially for those of us who use a password manager. I use the following bookmarklet that "types" each letter via the exposed JavaScript function on the page itself.
javascript:prompt('treasurydirect.gov password please').split('').forEach(PasswordVK)
easy-peasy
- joshiee 4y agoMeh imo it's easier to have the bookmarklet remove read only on the form and then just use the password manager like normal
- adammoelis 4y agoDoes any other website in the world use a virtual keyboard like that? I don't really understand why they do it. To prevent keystroke tracking I guess? It's bizarre.
- ryandrake 4y agoI always just paste my password into the field. That's always worked for me. Safari/macOS.
- adammoelis 4y agoDidn't know pasting worked.
- hirop 4y agoYes I believe it's to counter key loggers.
- staticman2 4y agoHSBC used to use a virtual keyboard but I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped it. (I am no longer a customer.)
- hemloc_io 4y agohah! I edit the frontend html every time so I can use my password manager
- sebk 4y agoSimilarly, I have a Greasemonkey userscript to remove the readonly attribute for the password input form so my password manager works: for (const e of document.getElementsByClassName("pwordinput")) { e.removeAttribute('readonly'); }
