Won't there also be a higher chance of getting your username/
password combination stolen if you are keylogged, if you are typing
in your passwords all day everyday? Obviously, the people on this
list will say "I don't get keylogged, cause I am that pro" but
whatever, just don't force people to enter passwords, no one
appreciates it.

Users should not be copy-pasting passwords or usernames. Do not
compromise a system to cater to bad [stupid, ignorant, you pick]
users. If this is an issue then educate the users.
I'm sorry, but this is just bloody stupid. I keep my usernames and
randomly generated, very long passwords in a password keeper. If
you're not going to let me copy paste them into a web page, i'm just
not going to ever use your application. Copy/pasting is something
that happens on the *local* machine -- it never goes out to the net.
By forcing people to type in their user names and passwords you are
going to cause them to enter easily-remembered, and typically easily-
crackable combinations. What is the possible logic for disallowing
someone to paste in their usernames/passwords???

This is an entirely different problem than not letting people copy/
paste their user/password info. I *never* said i do this every day.
