Auto fill likes to put a space after the name that often will make these forms freak out.
Not always. My mortgage company uses a software where it treats the password as invalid if it’s autofilled. I have to copy and paste the password into the box to remove the error.
Why people and companies need to make things purposefully difficult is beyond me. This shit is decades old and solved. Yet, they’re still constantly broken.
What usually works is adding a character at the end of the autofilled password and then removing it
My old bank would not allow pasted passwords, nor autofill. For a while PayPal was the same way.
Many password managers have a function where they can fill the password by sending key presses for troublesome sites like that.

Don't fuck with paste - a bookmarklet for those occasions.
From my experience, I think this also happens because of badly written code, where it tries to detect user input to do validation, but it handles events incorrectly and sees autofill as invalid.
I don't know what the problem is for this person, but my name is Christopher. Super white, Christian, and "normal". My bank thinks my name is Christophe because apparently 10 characters is enough for the first name column.
Thank Christ the name limit is not 6.
Christ never had a problem with it
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
ah yes, the famous 2-syllabe american names. ever been to italy?
User first name 'Kristen' already taken.
Invalid password. Already in use by Dicska.
It's also fun buying tickets from the Belgian airline, when they tell me that my family name contains illegal characters. Really? Tell me they're invalid or better yet unacceptable, but not that.
Programmers making ui/ux decisions haha. You'll pry 'undefined' from my cold, dead hands
Yea, that's not a real name. You need to put in a real name, like Swaglynn.
My mother-in-law worked at a preschool, and there was actually a little girl named Sexianna.
Ok, that's straight up child abuse.
Absolutely. I probably wouldn't believe her, but my wife confirmed it. She used to go in to help out. The little girl also had a brother named Sir King.
Well done, web form. One less of these damn fakers to wade through. KRISTEN. 👏 ISN'T. 👏 A NAME. 👏
There's a lot of whitespace before the name. Any chance they hit the space bar before talking the screen shot?
Ok "Kristen" if that is even your name 🙄
Welcome to my world, where a first name with two words cannot exist, and every single credit card I own has a different name printed on them.
Nothing on that list would have saved Mr.& Mrs. Null from their constant hassle with systems.
So many systems just cannot comprehend that names change. Or they make name changes weirdly inconvenient (if I can't just email the paperwork it's too inconvenient). It's not that big of a problem but it is a random pain in the ass every once in a while

read it, it's worth it.
I'd try replacing letters with homoglyphs. Doubt it would work, but not so much that I didn't think it was worth a try.
I mean, first I'd check to make sure I hadn't added any leading/trailing spaces. There does appear to be a lot of space before the K. Might technically be why it isn't working.
Not that the site doesn't still have serious dumb issues even if that is the issue. But yeah.
Fck Kristen! lol
