Good approach where you can't see what you typed in the first place and you 
don't want to go the hassle to reset your id.

But - What do you do if that website does not allow cut/copy/paste in the first 
place? Yes, it is about security or some other lame excuses, something about 
blocking website robot crawlers, spiders or weirdos ...

I have encountered such pages where I want to copy into or out from some text 
and then it is as if my mouse clickery is disabled/broken, or so it looks to 
me. 

Such websites also don't allow marking/selecting text for cut/copy/paste 
operations.

If I repeat same actions on say NotePad, then such operations are suddenly 
working.

I would be crying ashamed if I design such a website, but then it is just me...
