When a website disables autofill...

When a website disables autofill (say for security reasons) ... is there any way to reverse-engineer something such that 1P can fill in forms? I'm sitting here at dmv.ca.gov trying to renew my car registration and when I'm at the payment screen, copy/paste is totally disabled for the Account Number and Routing Number fields. While I'm lucky enough to have them committed to memory, it's still annoying to have to type them out knowing that they could have been filled. And they make you type it in twice, too. :-)

    Hey Michael_Paul! That's an interesting question. It really just depends on how the site is set up. 1Password will always do its best to help you fill. However, we don't control what the site restricts or allows.

    If the site was coded specifically to prevent copying and pasting, you can try clicking and dragging to the field. I've had success with that on some financial sites. However, in my testing on the vehicle registration form at dmv.ca.gov, clicking and dragging doesn't seem to work. It looks like the site absolutely requires for you to type out your information, and that's probably for security reasons.
