Login pages that resist password manager help

In my experience, using a password manager should help with security, but some websites resist it. For example, I tried to access a news portal yesterday, and it stopped my manager from filling in my details. This means I have to copy the password or type it by hand, which seems less safe. From what I've learned, sites might use scripts that interfere with browser tools. Your mileage may vary, but turning off some scripts can sometimes fix this. Just a thought, but it's good to know if your manager has tips for these cases. It just feels odd when we're all encouraged to use strong, unique passwords.

It's wild how often this happens. Like, we build tools to fix a problem, and then something else breaks them on purpose. Just adds more steps to what should be simple.

Ugh, tell me about it... my own memory is the second line of defense when my password manager gets blocked.

Keep a physical backup in a secure spot at home.

Forget the home backup, that's just making a new thing to lose or forget. quinna89 is right, we keep adding steps to fix broken tools instead of demanding they just work. My password manager got blocked once and I was locked out for a day, a physical key wouldn't have helped then. Sometimes the extra safety just adds another point of failure.
