Form fail episodes 19304: could you please make up your mind is this optional or not? (smells like spec changed in the middle of a sprint and none changed the placeholder)

Never, ever disable buttons — Why not? (9min, maybe paywall) I’m not a big fan with absolutes, like, “never”, but still, very compelling arguments on why disabling buttons is rarely a good idea. I’m recently removed those from our tool too, same issue, we made users guess what the rules behind it were, and it was annoying (and more development) by Daniel Berryhill

The problem with disabling paste and what to do instead: https://adamsilver.io/blog/the-problem-with-disabling-paste-and-what-to-do-instead/
Disabling paste in form fields is annoying and prone to errors, instead, get an email verification step, a “check answer” page, or a password reveal button.

Poor form UX episode 134450: why do you limit the number of characters in an email? I know a lot of people with very long names who will go above that 32 characters limit (I went because I use aliases). Don't put arbitrary restrictions on email length.

Password requirement best practise: if the minimum is 8, but you also add a maximum of 12, tell the user. Don't make them guess what is wrong with their 18 caracters autogrenerated passphrase (or, don't have maximum)
