It obviously depends on what websites you visit, but there is only one
website of the many I use that completely prevents paste of a password
by all methods. Most of the websites I've encountered that prevent a
mouse right-click and selection of "Paste" for login fields will still
allow the key combination of Enter+Insert to do a paste -- works on
both Linux and Windows. Does irritate me that some websites don't seem
to have heard of password managers, or they wouldn't make it
difficult. I could see an argument where you are entering a new
password with a second copy for verification to require at least one to
be actually typed, but that becomes a real pain with long, secure,
random passwords assigned by a password manager.

Plenty of those. And some that allow a paste into the email field, but not
into the "verify email" field. That one just reinforces the feeling that
the designers of web sites don't really understand how much of anything
works.
