I hate the 3 input boxes for AE#

Why does Aeroplan break up their FF# into 3 fields?

You can't even cut at paste into it.

Does anyone else hate this about their website?

Although this doesn't solve your peeve, just put your cursor in the first box and type away. It automatically moves to the next box and then moves to the PIN box after....

With Firefox the third box and password are stored for me. Then if I keep a history of entered fields all I have to do is double click in each of the first two boxes and my numbers are provided for choosing ... very quick and easy ... no biggie and no typing ... just a couple of clicks.

It's bloody annoying if you like to cut+paste your number into the box.

Is this thread for real or has this forum sunk to the botton to scoop up the dregs of concerns about AE?

I use Netscape still, and any time I go to a website requiring a login, Netscape asks me if I want it to remember the login and password. I'm sure most other browsers have some sort of feature like this. It doesn't help much if you are at a different computer, but then, if you are at another computer, you won't be cutting and pasting your login anyway.

My computer uses IE and has this same feature.

For once, I'm NOT going to pick on the website, and I haven't even had my second cup of coffee yet!

But, since we are now into real trivial matters, let me just say this is IMO a FEATURE, not a bug. I have always liked the auto advance from box to box.
Takes longer to open up a file and cut and paste than to type 3 groups of 3 numbers, but then again, I know my AE # better than my phone number.

Hit tab if the cursor doesn't automatically go to the next box. At least this way, you don't have to continuously click.

Actually I quite like the 3 boxes as you do not have to tab over. i think what confuses the OP is that in most other cases you have to tab over and we have become so use to that. So int this case the OP is not used to just keying the number in and thus finds it frustrating.

How about having a single box with 9# input and then tabbing over automatically to the password?
