So it also disabled passing values IN ...not just OUT. Why?
Any idea on how to enable paste in NSSecureTextFields?
From a security point of it makes some sense to prevent pasting. You
don't really want people keeping plain text versions of their
passwords around. Also, whatever was pasted would be left on the
clipboard. That would be very easy for someone passing by your mac to
check for. If people get used to not being able to paste, then they
won't put passwords on the clipboard in the first place.
