I recently returned to MWO after a couple of months of hiatus and experienced some trouble loggin in. I use a KeePass password datrabase to generate and save passwords and while MWO doesnt support copy pasting i used to be able to use the KeePass auto-type feature to enter my password and log in. However this no longer seems to work, and it appears that the game now even blocks hotkeys ascociated with keepass.

For now i have replaced my password with one that is shorter so that i can manually log in, but i would ofcourse like it very much if this could be fixed so i can go back to a longer and more secure password.

For a game not to support copy and pasting is so wierd.. it's like we are sinking back into the dos system days. Lol

It is, but i wasn't really too bothered until they somehow managed to also block autotype functionality. I imagine it could have been part of some security initiative to prevent automated brute forcing, but if that is the case i reckon it is more of an impediment to legitimate users than it is to hackers. The login page on this site has no such protection after all.
