The text boxes shouldn't have a character limit on them for this very reason. If they need to configure a limit they should allow the form to be submitted but return an error telling it's too many characters. Truncating the user's input is really bad for the exact reason you mention.

There's a lot of sites with bad ways of handling credentials. I really hate sites that stop you from pasting in passwords.

My bank used to block pasting, so I used a browser extension version of KeePass to auto type

Luckily they changed that policy when password managers became the main recommended method of handling passwords

So I no longer know my bank password, I saw it once when I accepted what KeePass generated

KeePass Auto-type is an amazing feature. One that many KeePass users also don't seem to know about!
