Tell HN: Please stop blocking my form submissions with client-side validations Okay, I’m not talking to _you_ specifically (unless I am), but for the love of whatever gets you up in the morning: stop blocking form submissions with client-side validations. It absolutely blows my mind how frequently I cannot submit login forms after auto-filling from a password manager. I’ve gone as far as to memorize the last character of some randomly generated passwords for certain offenders because I have to literally delete the last autofilled character and then retype it to remove the “you must enter a password” validation. Seriously, just stop disabling forms on the client-side! Your server _needs_ to handle these cases anyways. Just let me idiotically submit my autofilled password and then yell at me later if it’s really not there. Thank you. |
