      The California DMV requires you to renew your vehicle registration every year by paying with a bank account number (no card) which is like a 30ish digit number and they disable paste. If you get it wrong they won’t notify you in any way until you get pulled over by a cop who is one bad sneeze away from murdering you. It’s a great system.

        I have renewed my CA registration with a credit card going back to at least 2016. A responsible driver would know their renewal failed when their registration document did not arrive via mail.

          I think my question was clear enough. The comment didn’t mention banks, I’ve never had a bank that did that, and we generally don’t try to hide our identities from our banks anyway. My best guess was that they misunderstood how public/private keys work, but since that was only a guess, I asked.

        I’ve seen a few. They’re super annoying when trying to use a password manager with a decent password.
